Nature in Art: Horticulture of Beauty, Love, and Poetry

Affiliated Society or Committee Name: Association for Textual Scholarship in Art History
The session on Horticulture of Beauty, Love, and Poetry presents quests about the interpretation of Nature in Art. Physical and metaphysical representations of landscapes, plants, flowers, gardens explore aesthetic and creative expressions as well as conveying alchemical, philosophical, and symbolic meanings. Since the topic is so vast in art, the focus will be in this visualization created by painters and poets during the Romantic, Pre-Raphaelite, and Symbolist movements.
