EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Blue field madder, also known as Sherardia arvensis. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, this illustration was engraved by Massard and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin, considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, skillfully brings out the intricate details and vibrant colors of this plant. With its slender stems adorned with clusters of small blue flowers and lush green leaves, Blue field madder exudes an air of elegance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Blue field madder holds significance in both botany and natural history. This edible plant has been studied for its various uses in food preparation and medicinal properties. Its inclusion in Jussieu's comprehensive dictionary reflects its importance within scientific circles during that era. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder to celebrate the intersection between art and science. It serves as a reminder that even within the realm of botanical illustrations lies a world rich with knowledge waiting to be explored.
