Een nieuwe orchidee aan de Noordzee
Author:
Esmée Winkel
Publisher: KNNV Uitgeverij
Hardback, 64 pages
Publication: 23 february 2021
Language: Dutch
Hyacintorchis tells the story of an
orchid species discovered in the dunes at Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Six specimens were found in March 2020 and captured on paper by Esmée
Winkel. In her story she takes you with her to the discovery by Casper
Zuyderduyn, ranger at Staatsbosbeheer, that day she sat in the cold
sketching the plant, painting it, her methods, her paints and the
interesting and sometimes bizar history behind these paints.

Exploring
Botany 
Exploring Botany is Poland’s first exhibition that
showcases the
phenomenon of today’s botanical art, both European and Japanese. On
view are atrworks by modern-day artists in the context of the oeuvres
of old masters of botanical illustration, Basilius Besler, Crispijn van
de Passe the Younger, Jacob Hoefnagel, Emanuel Sweert, Elizabeth
Blackwell, and above all Maria Sibylla Merian. These are complemented
by Hiroshige’s and Watanabe Seitei’s ‘pictures of flowers and birds’,
which engage in surprising visual and narrative dialogue with the
European works. It is anhonour to contribute three of my works to this
exhibition!
