There’s nothing quite like a walk through the English countryside, but the next best thing might be a stroll through a new exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) that invites visitors to experience the British landscape through the eyes of artists from the 16th century to the present.
“’Of Green Leaf, Bird, and Flower’: Artists’ Books and the Natural World,” on view May 15–Aug. 10, examines the intersection between artistic and scientific interests in the natural world.
The exhibition has been organized like a ramble through nature, according to Elisabeth Fairman, senior curator of rare books and manuscripts at the YCBA.
