Gardens in Perpetual Bloom: Botanical Illustration in Europe and America 1600-1850

January 29, 2011 - April 24, 2011

Comprised of more than 100 flower prints, Gardens in Perpetual Bloom features the products of a fruitful collaboration of botanists, horticulturists, painters, and printmakers from the 17th to 19th centuries. Requiring technical virtuosity and complex techniques to achieve an amazing range of line and tone, these colorful works reveal the detail, structure, texture, tone, and lifelike appearance of a magnificent iris, an exotic lily, or a single elegant rose executed with an originality of design and composition.

From the Vaults: John Ringling's Asian and Cypriot Art

Opening November 19, 2011

John Ringling was certainly not known as a collector of Asian art during his lifetime, nor does his popular legacy reflect this impression.  Yet his appreciation for the spectacular, his discerning eye, and the guidance of his friends and fellow collectors all converged to create his relatively small but fascinating collection that can be counted among the treasures of his museum.
