Full Description
FMR issue number 9, arriving on the vernal equinox, is wholly devoted to the world of plants, our humble and yet noble fellow travelers on this earthly plane: we range from botanical details in the masterpieces of the Prado to a tropical jungle painted in monochromatic grisaille in a Mexican monastery, from a Korean painter’s hyperrealistic cacti to an esoteric Genoese garden, and from the vegetable festoons of the Villa Farnesina to Gaetano Gandolfi’s portraits of great botanists. In the front of the book, we see again, after a one-issue hiatus, Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk’s “Mr. PA” visiting the museum.
