Coveting Nature: Art, Collecting, and Natural History in Early Modern Europe

Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, United States

This exhibition explores the ways in which botanists and entomologists worked in tandem with artists to record and disseminate knowledge in the early-modern period (1500-1800). The exhibition also showcases the recent acquisition, Anna Ruysch’s Still Life of Flowers in a Glass Vase on a Stone Ledge (ca. 1690). Co-curated by Anna Chen, head librarian at William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, University of California, Los Angeles, and Maureen Warren, curator of European and American Art at Krannert Art Museum.
