Botanical Illustration

Certain types of craftsmanship are maintained in the Garden, especially the tradition of botanical illustration. Started by Hélène Durand we now have a dedicated team who collaborate with our researchers. Our artists are Mia Scheerlinck, Antontio Fernandez, Sven Bellanger and Omer Van de Kerckhove. They produce accurate, world class illustrations whose beauty transcends the borders of time, science and culture.
