A less-known pharmacist is Bartolomeo Maranta - a former student of Luca Ghini - who worked with plants in Naples (in a garden of Giovan Vincenzo Pinelli) and published a fascinating Method on studying plants in 1559 --- several years before Cesalpino, but also Pena and Lobel #plantstudies #histsci

Our next printmaker is Tom Scott whose prints focus on trees, the patterns in their rings and the beauty of their growth. If you are able to come along 15-17 Aug, Tom will enthuse you about his work and you can only admire the scale and focus of it.
