Arader Galleries is proud to present a fantastic botanical exhibition in partnership with Lotusland of Santa
Barbara titled: The Plant Hunters:
Botanical Illustration from the 16th through 19th Centuries. This
exquisite exhibit presents an overview of the history of botanical
prints starting with Fuchs’s early 16th century herbals through the
explosion of plant material finding its way to Europe from all over the
world through trade and exploration during the 17th through mid-19th
centuries. Magnificent botanical prints resulted from this newly
discovered plant material. The exhibit will focus on plants that can be
found at Lotusland or grow well in the Santa Barbara area. The exhibit
is in cooperation with Arader Galleries, www.aradersf.com. All of the prints are for sale with of portion of proceeds going to Lotusland.
