Exhibit offers rare glimpse at Bunny Mellon’s botanical art

This undated photo provided by the New York Botanical Garden shows Jan van Kessel the Elder's "Still life study of plants, insects, arachnids, mollusks, and reptiles," 1653-58, Oil on copper. The piece is part of what is being called a sort of coming out party for Rachel "Bunny" Mellon's enormous art collection. More than 50 rare masterpieces from her collection, most never before shown in public, are now on view in "Redouté to Warhol: Bunny Mellon's Botanical Art," at the New York Botanical Garden. The show will remain on view through Feb. 12, 2017. (Oak Spring Garden Library/New York Botanical Garden via AP)
