1. Late bloomer: the exquisite craft of Mary Delany. British Museum website entry:
Excerpt: "Mary Delany's stunning works are a remarkable combination of art and science. Often mistaken for watercolours, they are in fact carefully constructed paper collages, or 'mosaicks' as she called them.(Submitted on July 30, 2023, by Stephen Palmer of Ascot, England.)
Surprisingly, the story starts when the artist was 72, after she noticed the similarity between a geranium and a piece of red paper that was on her bedside table. The realisation prompted Delany to pick up a pair of scissors and imitate the petals in paper."
