Botany - Cabinet of Curiosities

852,84

Maïssa Toulet's humorous, anachronistic cabinets of curiosities capture the imagination. Designed as miniature museums, these tableaus in relief comprise small items that the artist found at flea markets and put together in settings that are very different from their original purpose. This window is a one-off work from a collection of six curiosity cabinets that Ms. Toulet created based on the Science and Curiosities at the Court of Versailles exhibition's themes. You can hang this unique work with a clip on the back of the window. Pictures are taken by the artist. This window is based on 17th- and 18th-century botanical research at Versailles. Louis XV backed many experiments, including the development of a large botanical garden at Trianon in 1759. At the Science and Curiosities show you can see portraits of great botanists such as Bernard de Jussieu (1699-1777) as well as a rich collection of plans and drawings of flowers.
