Event Details
By the 16th century in China, a vast corpus of texts on plants existed, including horticultural treatises, manuals of elegant living, pharmacopeia, and encyclopedias. This lecture will examine the ways in which Ming dynasty flower-and-plant painting developed multiple functions: as records of garden plants, botanical knowledge, and a means of understanding the cosmos.
