Blumenbuch

Funck, Magdelena Rosina, active late 17th century · 1692 · [Place of publication not identified] : [publisher not identified] · 4 pictures

Blumenbuch is a hand-painted German flower book made in 1692 by Magdelena Rosina Funck, a late seventeenth-century artist, with no publisher or place identified in the record. The pictures are watercolour botanical studies of single flowers on pale paper, with a title page ringed by a painted wreath of blooms; a designer could take their fine line work, soft pastel palette, and isolated specimen layout as models for botanical motifs.
