EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Common rue or herb of grace, Ruta graveolens. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The delicate details and vibrant colors bring this botanical illustration to life. Drawn and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of his time, this artwork exemplifies his exceptional talent. Common rue or herb of grace has been used for centuries both as an ornamental plant and for its medicinal properties. This fruit-bearing plant holds significance in botany and natural history due to its edible nature. Its scientific name, Ruta graveolens, reflects its strong aroma when crushed. The inclusion of Corsi's intricate engravings adds depth and texture to this stunning piece. It serves as a testament to the dedication and skill required to create such remarkable illustrations during that era. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece from their Fine Art Finder collection. This print not only captures the essence of common rue but also pays homage to the rich history behind botanical exploration and scientific discovery.
