Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566), el padre de la botánica moderna, da nombre a una llamativa flor y a su color correspondiente, el fucsia. En 1543 combinó sus excepcionales conocimientos de botánica con revolucionarias investigaciones médicas en el The New Herbal, un catálogo de medio millar de plantas y sus propiedades curativas. Aunque se trataba de una obra de confianza y referencia científica, The New Herbal ganó en popularidad, sobre todo, por los detalles y la calidad de sus ilustraciones. Las descripciones de las características, el origen y las propiedades medicinales de las plantas se acompañaban de minuciosas ilustraciones grabadas en madera, lo que permitía identificar las especies y estableció nuevos estándares de precisión y calidad en el universo de las publicaciones de botánica. En la época de las grandes expediciones, The New Herbal también documentó especies del Nuevo Mundo recién descubiertas por los europeos e incluyó el primer registro visual de las plantas del tabaco, el maíz, la judía roja y el cactus. Esta reimpresión de TASCHEN se ha realizado a partir de la copia personal coloreada por el propio Fuchs, que ha sobrevivido milagrosamente a lo largo de cuatro siglos y medio en un estado impoluto. Esta obra, que fascinará a historiadores de la medicina y el arte, jardineros y aficionados a las plantas curativas, incluye más de 500 ilustraciones excepcionales, reproducciones facsímil de textos originales del autor y un artículo que narra la historia de dichas plantas.

Images in medieval and early modern treatises on medicine, pharmacy, and natural history often confound our expectations about the functions of medical and scientific illustrations. They do not look very much like the things they purport to portray; and their actual usefulness in everyday medical practice or teaching is not obvious. By looking at works as diverse as herbals, jewellery, surgery manuals, lay health guides, cinquecento paintings, manuscripts of Pliny's Natural History, and Leonardo's notebooks, Visualizing Medieval Medicine and Natural History, 1200-1550 addresses fundamental questions about the interplay of art and science from the thirteenth to the mid-sixteenth century: What counts as a medical illustration in the Middle Ages? What are the purposes and audiences of the illustrations in medieval medical, pharmaceutical, and natural history texts? How are images used to clarify, expand, authenticate, and replace these texts? How do images of natural objects, observed phenomena, and theoretical concepts amplify texts and convey complex cultural attitudes? What features lead us to regard some of these images as typically 'medieval' while other exactly contemporary images strike us as 'Renaissance' or 'early modern' in character? Art historians, medical historians, historians of science, and specialists in manuscripts and early printed books will welcome this wide-ranging, interdisciplinary examination of the role of visualization in early scientific inquiry.

'Art meets science' in this beautiful book that aims to give readers a sense of some contemporary scientific discoveries that are changing our understanding of plant relationships.136 botanical paintings from the Shirley Sherwood Collection, by 84 artists, cover 50 orders of plants in 118 families, and a total of 133 species, providing a sweeping overview of the evolution of plants on earth.The paintings display a sampling of the plant world from fungi to daisies, including algae, mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants arranged in the most up to date evolutionary sequence, determined by recent DNA analysis.The text places each artist's observations as displayed in the paintings, in the context of modern plant classification, providing readers with a new understanding of the complex interrelationships between plant species, and enhancing their appreciation of the botanical artist's ability to portray the delicate beauty of nature.This publication is based on an exhibition in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, running from August to December 2009, to celebrate Kew's 250th anniversary and Darwin's bicentenary.

"Celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the College and the 400th Anniversary of the College's Pharmacopoea Londinensis--first pharmacopoeia to be mandatory for a whole country. This book contains specially commissioned paintings and drawings, and late medieval woodcuts, of nearly 200 plants growing in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians of London which were ingredients in the College's Pharmacopoea Londinensis of 1618. Their contemporary uses are given from the publications of Nicholas Culpeper in 1649 and John Parkinson in 1640. The 17th century names of the 634 medicinal plants used in the Pharmacopoea have been painstakingly identified and listed with their modern botanical names--an invaluable resource for all interested in the history of plant-based medicine. The artists directory is included for all who seek commissions from them"--Publisher's description.
