Book Synopsis Florilegium Imperiale by : H. Walter Lack
Book excerpt: In 1791, Francis I of Austria commissioned Matthias Schmutzer to paint portraits of every flower in his imperial gardens. This collection features 120 of the most outstanding of Schmutzer's watercolours. Painted life-size and with extraordinary precision, the flowers range from the exotic to the common.
