EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Filippo Gagliardi, from Giovanni Battista Ferrari's Hesperides: sive, De malorum aureorum cultura et usu (Hesperides, or, On the Cultivation and Use of Golden Fruits), published in 1646, depicts an intricately detailed scene of citrus trees thriving in a hothouse. The plate, found on page 457 of the quarto volume, showcases the meticulous care and attention required to grow these precious fruits in controlled environments. The hothouse, a technological marvel of the time, is filled with lush greenery, with citrus trees occupying the center stage. The trees are adorned with ripe and unripe fruits, their vibrant colors adding a splash of tropical charm to the enclosed space. The trees are tended to by gardeners, who are shown pruning the branches, applying fertilizer, and watering the plants. The hothouse is also filled with various tools and equipment, such as watering cans, pots, and gardening shears, all necessary for the cultivation and maintenance of the citrus trees. The engraving is a testament to the value and importance of citrus fruits during the 17th century. Citrus trees were considered a luxury, and their cultivation was a labor-intensive and expensive process. The hothouse allowed for the growth of these fruits in regions where the climate was not conducive to their natural growth, making them a coveted commodity. The intricate details of the engraving provide a glimpse into the meticulous care and dedication required to cultivate these fruits, and the resulting image is a beautiful representation of the intersection of art, science, and nature during the Baroque period.
