Stumbled upon the Amazing Rare Things exhibit today while perusing Efimera, which makes me wish my Spanish skills were sharper. It features the work of Mark Catesby and Maria Sibylla Merian (love this painting of hers) among others.
I’m gonna christen this art style, a perennial Modcult favorite, retronatural.
