Nigella (Love-in-a-mist) with a pale clouded yellow butterfly and insects
Johann Christoph Dietzsch was a member of the Dietzsch family of artists in Nuremberg, which was second only to London as a center for botanical art. This image presents his mastery of depicting not only the fine details of plants and insects, but also the mysteriousness of nature.
