Butterfly

Butterfly celebrates the breathtaking beauty of butterflies and moths across art, history, science and culture. The book explores the timeless fascination of these fleeting creatures – from caterpillar to butterfly – and invites the reader on a journey across continents and cultures to experience how artists and image makers have been inspired by these insects for more than 4,000 years, from ancient Egypt to the present day.

With over 250 works, each reproduced in impressive image format, the book presents a unique visual narrative that spans many forms of expression – from painting, botanical illustration and sculpture to nature photography, children's books, textile art and jewelry design.
