EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Dog rose, scientifically known as Rosa canina. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this illustration is a testament to the remarkable talent of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin, considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, directed and drew this stunning depiction with meticulous detail. Every element - from the delicate flower petals to the thorns and leaves - comes alive on paper through his skilled craftsmanship. The Dog rose itself holds great significance both botanically and historically. Known for its edible fruit called rosehips, it has been used for centuries as a source of food and medicine due to its high vitamin C content. This print not only captures its visual allure but also serves as a reminder of nature's bounty and our deep-rooted connection with plants. With its vibrant colors and intricate composition, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving stands as an enduring testament to Turpin's artistry while offering us a glimpse into the world of botanical wonders.
