Carl Linnaeus was the creator of modern binomial taxonomy (two names, in Latin for animals and plants). Dedicated and talented scientist, terrible artist.
The image is a self portrait of Carl from one of his travel notebooks, he had traveled to the north of Lapland. It shows him on a hill pointing at the midnight sun (which has a face or clouds passing over it). Item LM/LP/TRV/1/2/1 from the Linnean society.

Master of Claude de France’s Book of Flower Studies (ca. 1510–1515) via The Public Domain Review [Shared]

Despite being full of blooms, this book of floral illustrations marks an autumn in aesthetic history: it was composed during “‘the last flowering’ of northern European manuscript illumination in the medieval tradition”, write curators at the MET. Created in the workshop of the Master of Claude de France, one of the most renowned ateliers in Tours during the early sixteenth century, it takes the form of a model book — and indeed several subsequent commissions linked to Queen Claude drew inspiration from this work.

On continue la série des manuscrits palinodiques avec le Français 379 (BnF).
Réalisé entre 1530 et 1545, il a sans doute été offert par Jacques Le Lieur au roi François Ier. On y trouve les auteurs Jean Marot, Nicole Lescarre, Pierre Crignon...et tant d'autres qui ont participé au Puy de Rouen.

Les enluminures sont dues au Maître des Heures Ango et à Geoffroy Dumonstier et reproduisent les tableaux réalisés chaque année pour le Puy.

Scientists who review manuscripts for journals, question for you! Journal B invites a reviewer who has already recommended rejection when the manuscript was being considered by Journal A. In terms of the ethical thing to do when this #reviewer is invited to review the same #manuscript for Journal B.....
