• DESCRIPTION: First published in 1702, Phytographia Curiosa Exhibens Arborum, Fruticum, Herbarum ac Florum Icones... is one of the most visually imaginative botanical works of the Baroque era. The engravings by Abraham Munting are distinguished by their highly original style, where plants appear set within, or floating above, classical and idyllic landscapes. These compositions are often adorned with ornamental ribbons, inscribed tablets, and architectural elements, blending scientific observation with theatrical flourish. Munting’s work stands at the intersection of art and natural history, offering a uniquely decorative vision of botanical illustration.
