This amazing book combines art and botany with each other. The author of the book, Olga Kozlova, is an art historian, PhD in art history, art critic and professional florist, who received a diploma from the Swiss Union of Florists in 2020. She tells why and how artists and architects used certain plants in their works and where such an endless variety of flowers and leaves in paintings and sculptures, furniture and jewelry of different eras came from. The author asks the reader curious questions: do you know why the papal rose is golden? On the throne of which flower do the Hindu gods sit? What tree was most favored by the German Romantics? What flower adorns all Gothic cathedrals? In this book, where there is one story for each letter of the alphabet, you will find answers to all these questions and more. Moreover, the author of the book not only talks about plants using examples from art history, but also conducts entire botanical investigations! The visual image of the book was invented by Svetlana Shekhter - book illustrator and designer. She also created marvelous author's illustrations.
