It’s time to take a holiday break! We’ll be back in 2021! In the meantime, indulge in art that astonished me with its color, fluidity, calligraphy, and botanical illustrations. Pictured here “Medlar, Poppy Anemone, and Pear.” Watercolors, gold and silver paint, and ink on parchment. Leaf: 16.6 × 12.4 cm (6 9/16 × 4 7/8 in.). Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish / Hungarian, 1542 - 1600) and Georg Bocskay (Hungarian, died 1575)
