Almost anyone who grew up in Ireland will have encountered the poetry of WB Yeats at some point in their education. His brother, Jack B Yeats, was an acclaimed painter who took home Ireland's first ever Olympic medal, winning the silver for art in 1924.But, they weren't the only siblings in the Yeats family, nor were they the only Yeats children to be highly acclaimed.Lyndsey McDougall is a Singer with New Pagans and Art History lecturer at Ulster University.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with artist and researcher Paulina Ree to explore the often-overlooked contributions of women throughout art history—and the striking parallels to the challenges and triumphs of 2025. Together, they delve into what it means to create while navigating motherhood, mental health, and the weight of invisible labor. Paulina shares her research on forgotten female artists whose impact shaped movements without recognition, and how their stories mirror the lived experience of women making art today. This is a soulful, truth-telling conversation that uplifts the quiet power of persistence, the beauty of creative lineage, and the courage it takes to be seen. In this episode, we cover: -How women's creative contributions have been erased or overlooked -The emotional labor of motherhood as an artist -Parallels between past female artists and today's art world -Strategies for protecting your mental health while making meaningful work -Why researching female artist's lives matters now more than ever -What we can do as women creatives now to change the narrative xoxo Contact Paulina Ree: https://www.paulinareeartist.com https://www.instagram.com/paulinareeartist/ Host Michelle Schultz: https://michelleschultzstudio.com https://www.instagram.com/michelleschultzart/ Contact us at She Who Paints: https://www.instagram.com/shepaintscollective/

What if the path to becoming an artist wasn't shrouded in mystery but illuminated by practical wisdom? In this deep dive into Jerry Saltz's transformative book "How to Be an Artist," we explore the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic's generous, accessible, and remarkably grounded advice for creative souls at any stage of their journey."Art is for everyone," Saltz declares, immediately dismantling the barriers that keep so many from pursuing their creative calling. Whether you're wondering if you can be an artist without formal education, while working full-time, or while wrestling with crippling self-doubt, his answer rings clear: "Of course you can." Through our conversation, we unpack how Saltz's decades of observing artists have yielded insights that speak directly to the heart of the creative struggle.The book's wisdom resonates powerfully throughout our discussion – from embracing the uncomfortable vulnerability of making art to recognizing that "the faster your work makes sense, the faster people will lose interest." We explore why certainty kills curiosity, how imagination forms the very essence of human existence, and why getting productively lost might be the most direct path to finding your voice. Saltz's practical advice – "cast your nets into the waters" of inspiration and "work, work, work" – offers a refreshing antidote to creative paralysis.Perhaps most encouraging is Saltz's insistence that it's never too late to begin. Through stories of artists who found success later in life (including Saltz himself who didn't become serious about his calling until age 40), we confront the myth that artistic accomplishment requires early specialization. Whether you're just starting out or seeking to deepen your existing practice, this episode offers a roadmap filled with practical wisdom, compassionate encouragement, and the liberating reminder that "nothing happens if you're not working, but anything can happen when you are."Buy "How to be an Artist" by Jerry SaltzSend us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Have you ever felt like your artwork knows more than you do? In this intimate, unplanned conversation recorded during a Montana retreat, Ty and Nathan explore the vital yet often overlooked practice of soul care for artists.Surrounded by the sounds of birdsong and nestled in Montana's rolling landscape, we dive into what happens when artists intentionally step away from their studios. More than just a luxury, these moments of pause—whether through travel, immersion in nature, or simple daily rituals—fundamentally transform our creative practice and the work that emerges from it.Drawing wisdom from Mary Oliver's poetry collection "Redbird" and Jack Whitten's studio journals, we unpack what it means to create "not for the sake of winning, but for sheer delight and gratitude." Oliver's observation that "it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world" reminds us that pausing to notice our surroundings isn't just pleasant—it's essential to developing our artistic voice.We share our personal soul care practices, from morning reading rituals and mindful walks to the transformative power of travel and trying uncomfortable new experiences. The conversation explores how these moments help us break free from achievement-oriented creation and return to our work with renewed vision. As Whitten noted, "Nature does not think"—it simply exists. There's profound creative wisdom in learning to sometimes just be rather than constantly do.Whether you're struggling with burnout or simply seeking to deepen your creative practice, this conversation offers practical inspiration for incorporating soul care into your artistic journey. Take a moment with us, slow down, and discover how the small pauses might actually hold everything you need.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo the Magnificent Part 6 of 6: Architecture This episode looks at the most significant works of Lorenzo's court architect and dear friend, Giuliano da Sangallo. Among his most important designs, Sangallo was the chief architect and designer behind the Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, a countryside escape for Lorenzo that would serve as a prototype for Renaissance villas that came after. Additionally, Lorenzo and Sangallo were involved in the design and creation of the splendid church of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato. Overall, this podcast addresses the way Sangallo served as Lorenzo's chief architect, as well as the way in which he remains an essential figure in understanding Renaissance architecture as a whole. Sangallo was a dedicated follower of Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, as well as an expert on the rules of classical architecture. Works Discussed: Giuliano da Sangallo, Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, begun 1485. http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/villa-poggio-a-caiano.htmlGiuliano da Sangallo, Santa Maria delle Carceri, Prato, 1495. https://www.cittadiprato.it/en/Sezioni/content.aspx?XRI=186Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Leonardo Drew invites us into the physical, philosophical, and sometimes painful world of material transformation. Unlike artists who work with found objects carrying built-in histories, Drew deliberately purchases new materials that he must personally weather and transform. "I need to become the weather," he explains, describing a process where he subjects materials to rigorous physical manipulation that often results in literal bloodshed.This physical commitment reflects Drew's deeper philosophy about creation. He describes himself as "the crack addict of art," chasing the highs of creative breakthrough through persistent experimentation and a willingness to fail. His practice demands patience—it took seven years from his initial decision to create what would become his signature style before producing what he considered his first successful piece (which he numbered "8," acknowledging the previous attempts).Drew conceptualizes artists as antennas receiving creative energy from the universe. He purposefully travels to "cradles of civilization" like China and Machu Picchu, absorbing experiences that later emerge organically in his work. "You don't have to say I'm making work about this specifically," he notes, "because that would cage and imprison the whole idea." This philosophy requires "getting out of the way" of one's own creative process—removing ego and preconceptions to allow authentic creation to happen.By refusing to title his monumental works beyond simple numbering, Drew extends his transformation-based practice to the viewing experience itself. Each piece continues to transform through viewers' unique interpretations, creating an endless cycle of meaning-making that transcends the artist's original intent. As Drew profoundly states, "As I'm moving closer and closer to answering questions, at the same time I'm moving further away from the answers."Want to experience this transformative approach in your own creative practice? Keep your channels open by constantly introducing new ideas and techniques. When feeling stuck, switch things up dramatically—if you're a painter, try sculpture; if you work abstractly, attempt representation. The discomfort of new approaches often leads to the most significant breakthroughs.Leonardo Drew in "Investigation" - Season 7 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymMGgOCoK8k&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=5An Interview with Leonardo Drew | Wadsworth Antheneumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-75fm_UzhYg&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=4Woodcuts: Leonardo Drew | useum of Arts and Design (MAD)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3S2nvDcvU&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=3Artist Talk: Leonardo Drew | Amon Carter Museum of American Art Fort Worthhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtsqaHfEYxc&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqRCarrie Scott, SEEN Podcast | Leonardo DrewSend us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Kathryn is Bertelsen Professor of Art History and Religion at the Graduate Theological Union and Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University. She has published extensively on the theory of pilgrimage, especially as it relates to art experience. Her recent project, "Imaging Pilgrimage: Art as Embodied Experience" was the recipient of the American Academy of Religion and the Arts Book Award and the Borsch-Rast Book Prize. She is the founding director of the Berkeley Art and Interreligious Pilgrimage Project, and remains an advisor to the British Pilgrimage Trust.​In this conversation, I spoke with Kathryn about the multifaceted nature of pilgrimage and its relationship to art, spirituality, and community. We explored how images, objects, and environments enhance the pilgrimage experience, from historical traditions to contemporary practices. We also discussed the transformative power of art and the ways it can foster imagination, communitas, and deeper spiritual engagement.

Üdv, Janos!En: "Hello, Janos!"Hu: - kiáltotta Bela, kollégája, aki mindig versengésre készült, de egy jó rejtélyre is.En: shouted Bela, his colleague, who was always ready for competition, but also intrigued by a good mystery.Hu: - Hallottad, hogy valami érdekesről fecsegnek a látogatók?En: "Did you hear that the visitors are gossiping about something interesting?"Hu: Janos bólintott.En: Janos nodded.Hu: Az emberek izgatottsága nem csökkent a hír hallatán, hogy a ritka műtárgy titokzatos módon eltűnt.En: The excitement of the people didn't diminish upon hearing the news that the rare artifact had mysteriously disappeared.Hu: Janosnak bizonyítania kellett.En: Janos had to prove himself.Hu: Szerette volna megmutatni, hogy méltó a múzeum tiszteletére, és minden erejével azon volt, hogy bebizonyítsa, nem csupán egy egyszerű segédkurátor.En: He wanted to show that he was worthy of the museum's respect and was determined to prove that he was not just an ordinary assistant curator.Hu: A kiállítótermekben egy fiatal nő, Katalin, szorgalmasan figyelte a történéseket.En: In the exhibition rooms, a young woman, Katalin, diligently observed the happenings.Hu: Amatőr detektívként soha nem hagyta figyelmen kívül az izgalmas kihívásokat.En: As an amateur detective, she never ignored exciting challenges.Hu: Bár nem volt hivatalos képzettsége, elszántsága és éles elméje figyelemre méltó volt.En: Although she had no formal training, her determination and sharp mind were remarkable.Hu: Az idő szorításában Janos úgy döntött, hogy elfogadja Katalin segítségét.En: Under time pressure, Janos decided to accept Katalin's help.Hu: Ez új volt számára, de szüksége volt minden segítségre.En: This was new for him, but he needed all the help he could get.Hu: Bela, bár hajlamos volt a dolgokat túlzó módon kezelni, szintén a csapat részévé vált.En: Bela, although prone to handling things in an exaggerated manner, also became part of the team.Hu: Ahogy a nap perzselő sugarai behatoltak a szobákba, és egyre több látogató érkezett, a trió számtalan nyomot követett.En: As the sun's scorching rays penetrated the rooms, and more and more visitors arrived, the trio followed numerous clues.Hu: Egyik éjjel, amikor a múzeum elhagyatott és csendes volt, úgy döntöttek, hogy visszatérnek.En: One night, when the museum was deserted and silent, they decided to return.Hu: Katalin figyelmét egy régi falpanel ragadta meg, amely elütött a környezetétől.En: Katalin was drawn to an old wall panel that stood out from its surroundings.Hu: Janos gyanakodva lépett közelebb, és véletlenül elmozdította a panelt.En: Suspiciously, Janos stepped closer and accidentally shifted the panel.Hu: A panel mögött egy titkos átjáró tárult fel, amely mélyen a múzeum belsejébe vezetett.En: Behind the panel, a secret passageway was revealed, leading deep into the museum's interior.Hu: Az átjáró a bátor felfedezőket egy rejtekhelyre vezette, ahol megdöbbentően ott volt az eltűnt műtárgy!En: The passageway led the brave explorers to a hidden place where, astonishingly, the missing artifact was!Hu: - Ez elképesztő!En: "This is amazing!"Hu: - kiáltotta Bela, visszhangzónak tűnő hangon.En: shouted Bela, his voice seeming to echo.Hu: Katalin mosolygott, Janos pedig megkönnyebbült.En: Katalin smiled, and Janos felt relieved.Hu: Az elképesztő felfedezés tudatában Janos és csapata a múzeum igazgatósága elé álltak.En: Aware of the incredible discovery, Janos and his team stood before the museum board.Hu: A történet elmesélésével, a rejtély megoldásának részleteivel és a visszaszerzett műtárgy bemutatásával Janos megkapta a megérdemelt elismerést.En: By narrating the story, detailing the mystery's solution, and presenting the recovered artifact, Janos received the deserved recognition.Hu: Az igazgatóság meghajolt a három bátor nyomozó előtt, Janos pedig újra magára talált.En: The board bowed to the three brave investigators, and Janos found himself again.Hu: Megértette, hogy az igazi sikeres munkához csapatmunka kell, és hálát adott Katalin éleslátásáért és Bela lelkesedéséért.En: He understood that true successful work requires teamwork and was grateful for Katalin's insight and Bela's enthusiasm.Hu: Most már nemcsak egy ügyes kurátor, hanem egy olyan vezető is volt, aki tudta, hogyan hozza ki a legjobbat másokból is.En: Now he was not only a skilled curator but also a leader who knew how to bring out the best in others.Hu: Ahogy az ünnepi hétvége zárult, a napfény aranylóan tündökölt a múzeum fölött.En: As the festive weekend came to a close, the sunlight shone golden over the museum.Hu: A tavasz teljességében az emberek csodálkozva nézték a múzeum új hősét, Janost, aki most már nemcsak egy résztvevő volt, hanem a történelem részese is.En: In the fullness of spring, people gazed in wonder at the museum's new hero, Janos, who was now not just a participant but a part of history.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: The Art of Discovery: A Shared Journey to Recognition Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-06-01-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede klart på Arken Museum of Modern Art.En: The sun shone brightly on the Arken Museum of Modern Art.Da: Det var en varm sommerdag, og Søren og Freja gik gennem de lyse sale.En: It was a warm summer day, and Søren and Freja walked through the bright halls.Da: Søren, en ivrig kunsthistoriker, kunne ikke skjule sin spænding.En: Søren, an eager art historian, could not hide his excitement.Da: Freja, med drømmen om at blive en anerkendt kunstner, gik stille ved siden af ham, optaget af farverne og formerne omkring hende.En: Freja, with the dream of becoming a recognized artist, walked quietly beside him, captivated by the colors and shapes around her.Da: Museet var fyldt med innovative og abstrakte værker.En: The museum was filled with innovative and abstract works.Da: Søren stoppede ved et maleri.En: Søren stopped at a painting.Da: Noget ved det fangede hans opmærksomhed.En: Something about it caught his attention.Da: Freja, der bemærkede hans stilhed, kiggede også.En: Freja, noticing his silence, looked too.Da: "Hvad ser du?" spurgte hun nysgerrigt.En: "What do you see?" she asked curiously.Da: "Det er et mesterværk," svarede Søren.En: "It's a masterpiece," replied Søren.Da: "Det kunne være en uopdaget perle."En: "It could be an undiscovered gem."Da: Freja så fascineret på det.En: Freja gazed at it, fascinated.Da: Hendes kreative sind begyndte straks at væve en historie.En: Her creative mind immediately began to weave a story.Da: "Vi skal fortælle verden," sagde hun.En: "We must tell the world," she said.Da: Men nu begyndte de to venner at tænke over konsekvenserne.En: But now the two friends began to consider the consequences.Da: Søren ønskede at verificere maleriet med sin professor.En: Søren wanted to verify the painting with his professor.Da: Denne opdagelse kunne fremme hans akademiske karriere.En: This discovery could advance his academic career.Da: Freja derimod tænkte på sin journalistven, der kunne offentliggøre deres fund.En: Freja, on the other hand, thought about her journalist friend who could publish their finding.Da: Begge ønskede anerkendelse, men af forskellige årsager.En: Both wanted recognition, but for different reasons.Da: Mens de stod der, opstod der en spænding.En: As they stood there, tension arose.Da: "Vi skal tage en beslutning," sagde Søren bestemt.En: "We need to make a decision," said Søren decisively.Da: "Hvis vi holder det hemmeligt for længe, kan vi miste retten til opdagelsen."En: "If we keep it secret too long, we might lose the right to the discovery."Da: Freja tænkte over hans ord.En: Freja considered his words.Da: "Men hvad nu hvis vi fokuserer på historien først?En: "But what if we focus on the story first?Da: Mit kunstværk kunne fange folks opmærksomhed."En: My artwork could capture people's attention."Da: De diskuterede højlydt foran maleriet. Deres stemmer steg i en følelsesladet dialog.En: They argued loudly in front of the painting, their voices rising in an emotional dialogue.Da: De indså, at deres forskellige mål skabte en barriere mellem dem.En: They realized that their different goals created a barrier between them.Da: Men dybt inde vidste de begge, at de skulle træffe en beslutning sammen.En: But deep inside, they both knew they had to make a decision together.Da: Til sidst sagde Søren stille: "Vi burde arbejde sammen.En: Finally, Søren said quietly, "We should work together.Da: Din kunst og min viden. En samarbejdet historie."En: Your art and my knowledge. A collaborative story."Da: Freja nikkede langsomt.En: Freja nodded slowly.Da: "Ja, lad os gøre det.En: "Yes, let's do that.Da: Vi rapporterer først efter vi har skabt noget sammen."En: We report only after we've created something together."Da: De gik hånd i hånd mod udgangen, uden at vide hvilke døre denne opdagelse kunne åbne for dem begge.En: They walked hand in hand towards the exit, not knowing which doors this discovery could open for them both.Da: De havde lært, at succes ikke kun kommer fra individuel præstation, men også fra at arbejde sammen.En: They had learned that success does not come only from individual achievement but also from working together.Da: Pludselig føltes museet ikke kun som en bygning fuld af kunst – men et sted, hvor deres fælles rejse startede.En: Suddenly, the museum didn't feel like just a building full of art anymore – but a place where their shared journey began.Da: Og således, i solen udenfor museet, planlagde de deres næste skridt sammen, fyldt med håb og inspiration.En: And so, in the sunlight outside the museum, they planned their next steps together, filled with hope and inspiration.

Commercial art is more than just mass-produced publicity; it constructs social and political ideologies that impact the public's everyday life. In The Fine Art of Persuasion: Corporate Advertising Design, Nation, and Empire in Modern Japan (Duke University Press, 2025), Gennifer Weisenfeld examines the evolution of Japanese advertising graphic design from the early 1900s through the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, a pivotal design event that rebranded Japan on the world stage. Through richly illustrated case studies, Weisenfeld tells the story of how modern corporations and consumer capitalism transformed Japan's visual culture and artistic production across the pre- and postwar periods, revealing how commercial art helped constitute the ideological formations of nation- and empire-building. Weisenfeld also demonstrates, how under the militarist regime of imperial Japan, national politics were effectively commodified and marketed through the same mechanisms of mass culture that were used to promote consumer goods. Using a multilayered analysis of the rhetorical intentions of design projects and the context of their production, implementation, and consumption, Weisenfeld offers an interdisciplinary framework that illuminates the importance of Japanese advertising design within twentieth-century global visual culture. Gennifer Weisenfeld is Walter H. Annenberg Distinguished Professor of Art and Art History at Duke University. Dr. Jingyi Li is an assistant professor of Japanese Studies at Occidental College, Los Angeles. She is a cultural historian of nineteenth-century Japan. She researches about early modern Japan, literati, and commercial publishing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo the Magnificent Part 5: Antonio and Piero Pollaiuolo Among the many artists who earned the attention of the Magnificent, the Pollaiuolo brothers left behind an artistic legacy closely tied with Medicean propaganda. This episode explores the role of the Pallaiuolo brothers in the development of Florentine Renaissance art, specifically through the works they completed for the Medici Palace: The Labors of Hercules. Later reappropriated, this episode also dives into how Hercules is used as a Florentine political symbol and is adaptable as both a pro-Medici and an anti-Medici symbol, similar to function of the biblical heroes David and Judith. Works DiscussedAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and the Hydra, ca. 1475 https://www.uffizi.it/opere/pollaiolo-ercole-idraAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and Antaeus, ca. 1475 https://www.uffizi.it/opere/pollaiolo-ercole-anteoAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and Antaeus, ca. 1475, bronze Antonio https://www.wga.hu/html_m/p/pollaiol/antonio/sculptur/hercul2.htmlSupport/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Join me for conversation with Dr. Jaleh Mansoor (Associate Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory, University of British Columbia) about her book Universal Prostitution and Modernist Abstraction: A Counterhistory (Duke University Press, 2025). Our discussion brought us to topics like the artists' muse, the modern laborer, and other figures precariously suspended between the object/subject dialectic. In Universal Prostitution and Modernist Abstraction, Dr. Mansoor provides a counternarrative of modernism and abstraction and a reexamination of Marxist aesthetics. Mansoor draws on Marx's concept of prostitution—a conceptual device through which Marx allegorized modern labor—to think about the confluences of generalized and gendered labor in modern art. Analyzing works ranging from Édouard Manet's Olympia and Georges Seurat's The Models to contemporary work by Hito Steyerl and Hannah Black, she shows how avant-garde artists can detect changing modes of production and capitalist and biopolitical processes of abstraction that assign identities to subjects in the interest of value's impersonal circulation. She demonstrates that art and abstraction resist modes of production and subjugation at the level of process and form rather than through referential representation. By studying gendered and generalized labor, abstraction, automation, and the worker, Mansoor shifts focus away from ideology, superstructure, and culture toward the ways art indexes crisis and transformation in the political economic base. Ultimately, she traces the outlines of a counterpraxis to capital while demonstrating how artworks give us a way to see through the abstractions of everyday life.

The last thing anybody wants to do is sit for a meaningless test. Entrance exams like the SAT & ACT should be able to inform both test takers and target institutions about the likelihood of success at the next level. So do they? Amy and Mike invited educator David Blobaum to explore the predictive validity of test scores in college admissions. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Research says that SAT/ACT scores are better predictors of success at Ivy-plus colleges than are high school grades–why? Have any other colleges beyond the Ivy-plus colleges made similar statements? Why have colleges not gone back to requiring test scores then if they're so predictive? Do test-optional colleges value SAT/ACT scores? Are test-blind colleges blind to all tests? MEET OUR GUEST David Blobaum graduated from the University of Chicago with honors both from the college and in his major. In college, he took seriously the University of Chicago's aim of a “Renaissance” or well-rounded education and took courses in 17 different disciplines, ranging from Statistics and Economics to Philosophy and Art History. Since then, he has devoted himself to helping students reach their potential on the SAT and ACT and, more broadly, to help them succeed through education.  To that end, in 2013, he founded Summit Prep with a former UChicago classmate. They now have two tutoring centers in New Jersey, and their team of SAT/ACT experts privately tutors over 500 students per year. David is a consultant to schools on SAT/ACT best practices, personally trains each Summit Prep tutor one-on-one, and tutors a select few students himself. David not only teaches students the necessary subject matter but also motivates them to continually strive towards their potential. David first appeared on the podcast in episode 79 to discuss Why The SAT And ACT Are Awesome, in episode 582 to discuss The Need For Testing Sites In California, and in episode 421 for a Sponsor Spotlight.

A richly illustrated account of how premodern botanical illustrations document evolving knowledge about plants and the ways they were studied in the past. Botanical Icons: Critical Practices of Illustration in the Premodern Mediterranean (U Chicago Press, 2024) traces the history of botanical illustration in the Mediterranean from antiquity to the early modern period. By examining Greek, Latin, and Arabic botanical inquiry in this early era, Andrew Griebeler shows how diverse and sophisticated modes of plant depiction emerged and ultimately gave rise to practices now recognized as central to modern botanical illustration. The author draws on centuries of remarkable and varied documentation from across Europe and the Mediterranean. Lavishly illustrated, Botanical Icons marshals ample evidence for a dynamic and critical tradition of botanical inquiry and nature observation in the late antique and medieval Mediterranean. The author reveals that many of the critical practices characteristic of modern botanical illustrations began in premodern manuscript culture. Consequently, he demonstrates that the distinctions between pre- and early modern botanical illustration center more on the advent of print, the expansion of collections and documentation, and the narrowing of the range of accepted forms of illustration than on the invention of critical and observational practices exclusive to modernity. Griebeler's emphasis on continuity, intercultural collaboration, and the gradual transformation of Mediterranean traditions of critical botanical illustration persuasively counters previously prevalent narratives of rupture and Western European exceptionalism in the histories of art and science. New Books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Andrew Griebeler is assistant professor in the depart of Art, Art History and Visual Studies at Duke University. With students and other faculty at Duke, he is also helping to document the legacy of the Duke Herbarium on Instagram (@bluedevil.herbarium) before its closure by the university.
