EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the Grandville Nasturtium, or Tropaeolum Majus 'Capucine,' a vibrant and captivating floral specimen from the year 1847. The image, created by the renowned French artist J.J. Grandville, showcases the beauty and intricacy of this beloved flower in its prime. The Nasturtium, also known as the Indian Cress or Tropaeolum, is a popular annual plant in the tropaeolaceae family, native to South America. Grandville masterfully captures the essence of the Capucine Nasturtium in this decorative design. The large, radiant blooms are depicted in rich hues of red, orange, and yellow, with intricate veining and delicate petals that curl and unfurl in a mesmerizing dance. The lush greenery of the leaves provides a lively contrast to the vibrant flowers, adding depth and texture to the overall composition. The print itself is a testament to the artistry and skill of the time, with intricate details and delicate shading that bring the Nasturtium to life. The use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques adds depth and dimension to the image, while the delicate outlines and precise shading enhance the botanical accuracy of the design. This print is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the mid-19th century. The Grandville Nasturtium was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during this time, and this print serves as a stunning example of the artistic and scientific exploration of the natural world during the Victorian era.
