EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Escallonia serrata, a stunning botanical specimen captured by Stanghi in the 19th century. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali transports us to Florence, Italy in 1837, where this remarkable illustration was published by Batelli e Figli. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's artistic direction and Corsi's skilled engraving bring this escallonia serrata to life with intricate detail and vibrant colors. Turpin, renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, has masterfully depicted every aspect of this shrub-like plant with precision. The serrated leaves resembling saw teeth give rise to its alternative names: stereoxylon serratum and escallonia di foglie dentate a sega. Beyond its visual appeal, this species also holds significance in the realm of food and natural history. As an edible vegetable, it offers both aesthetic pleasure and potential sustenance. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents us with a window into nature's wonders through this mesmerizing print. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old illustrations can continue to inspire awe and appreciation for our planet's diverse flora.
