The Night Blowing Cereus, 1800
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured engraving that transports viewers to the enchanting world of nature after dark. Created by British artist Philip Reinagle and attributed to him, this print showcases the delicate beauty of a rare flowering plant known as the Night Blowing Cereus. Taken from Robert John Thornton's book "New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus Von Linnaeus. . . The Temple of Flora, or The Garden of Nature" this artwork captures the essence of nocturnal wonder. Set against a backdrop of an outdoor garden at night, illuminated only by natural moonlight, the vibrant yellow flower glows with an ethereal radiance. The image reveals intricate details in close-up: each petal seems to emit its own soft light as if guided by lunar energy. The surrounding landscape adds depth and mystery, with a riverbank and trees shrouded in darkness. A clock subtly reminds us that time does not stand still even in this magical setting. This early 19th-century masterpiece exemplifies European artistry at its finest. Abraham Pether's collaboration on this piece further enhances its allure. Through their combined talents, they have captured not just a botanical specimen but also evoked emotions associated with change and emergence. "The Night Blowing Cereus, 1800" invites us to appreciate nature's wonders beyond daylight hours and encourages contemplation under moonlit skies. This print serves as a reminder that even in darkness, there is beauty waiting to be discovered if we take the time to look closely enough.
