An architectural legend is lost, Bruce Munro lights up Uluru and what Palmyra looks like after its recapture – all in your weekly art dispatch
Dutch Flowers
The Dutch Republic in the 17th century took flowers seriously – so seriously it was gripped by tulip-mania. The flower-growing obsessions of the age still shape the look of Holland today. In art, flowers offered a perfect subject for the realist artists from an age when the microscope was pioneered. Paintings by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder, Rachel Ruysch and others showcase fascinating visions of colour – but look out for the worm in the bud, the lizard under the leaf.
