NEW YORK — People have long brought the natural world into their homes in the form of plants that thrive indoors as well as cut flowers that might only last a week but are majestic when in bloom. One of the best and least labor-intensive ways to appreciate the beauty of flowers and plants year-round is by displaying framed botanical illustrations and engravings. Basilius Besler (1561–1629) was among the most renowned masters of this genre, which requires strong command of the nuances of both art and science.
