EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an Onyx agate, a precious stone with countless zones and a unique outer layer. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving was created by the talented artist Stanghi in the 19th century for Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this illustration is a true testament to the artistic mastery of Pierre Jean Francois Turpin. Turpin, considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, expertly captured the intricate details and vibrant colors of this exquisite mineral. The onyx agate's rich hues and distinctive patterns are beautifully showcased through Stanghi's meticulous engravings. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual delight but also holds significant scientific value. It represents an important contribution to natural history and geology studies during the 19th century. With its combination of artistry and scientific accuracy, this print exemplifies how art can be used to enhance our understanding and appreciation for Earth's wonders. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this exceptional artwork from Florilegius collection for enthusiasts who seek both aesthetic pleasure and knowledge about minerals like onyx agate.
