EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Atropa Belladonna, commonly known as Nightshade. Created by an anonymous European artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. Atropa Belladonna, with its striking purple flowers and dark berries, has long fascinated botanists and artists alike. However, beneath its enchanting appearance lies a dangerous secret - it is highly poisonous. The plant contains atropine, a potent alkaloid that can cause hallucinations and even death if ingested in large quantities. The image depicts various types of Nightshade plants arranged meticulously in a factory-like setting. This composition highlights the industrial production associated with these toxic plants during that era. The black forest backdrop adds an air of mystery to the scene while emphasizing the sinister nature of Atropa Belladonna. Its presence evokes both awe and caution among those who encounter it. This chromolitho print not only captures the allure of this deadly plant but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with both beauty and danger found within nature itself. It stands as a testament to our eternal quest for knowledge about the world around us, even when faced with potentially perilous discoveries.
