The extraordinary career of the Huguenot artist Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues (c. 1533 – 1588) have only relatively recently been defined and described. He appears to have worked as a court artist in France, under Charles IX, is known to have traveled to Florida in 1564, as official artist and cartographer to the ill-fated French attempt to establish a colony there, and to have ended his career as a highly regarded botanical artist in Elizabethan London, where his patrons included Sir Walter Raleigh and Lady Mary Sidney. Le Moyne was among a rare and exclusive group of artists who specialized in botanical images. Most examples were printed, but a few original painted works were commissioned by wealthy amateur botanists and aristocrats who wished to have pictorial records of the valuable plants to be found in their gardens. Sixty extraordinary botanical paintings, executed in watercolor and gouache, will be on display, removed from a magnificent manuscript considered to be Le Moyne’s finest and most lavish achievement. Members Free, Non-Members $10 For more information, call (904) 356-6857. Read Less
