1847 Belge Desire Flore Frontispiece Tinted Hannon Rembert Volume
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite tinted frontispiece illustration is taken from the first volume of "Flore Belge," a comprehensive work on the Belgian flora, published in 1847. The illustration is a captivating portrait of Rembert Dodonee, named after the Dodonee plant, which is native to Belgium and Europe. The image was created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator, Joseph Desire Hannon. Hannon's illustration showcases Rembert Dodonee in a three-quarter view, with his head turned slightly towards the left, gazing off into the distance. He is depicted wearing a simple white shirt and a vest, with a collar that frames his face. The intricate detailing of his clothing and the subtle shading used to create depth and texture add to the overall elegance of the portrait. The background of the illustration is adorned with various botanical specimens, including the Dodonee plant itself, which is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner. The delicate tinting used on the illustration enhances the natural colors of the plants and adds a soft, ethereal quality to the image. The portrait of Rembert Dodonee is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical record of a Belgian botanist and the flora of his time. The illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the artistic skill of Joseph Desire Hannon, who captured the essence of both the subject and the plants in this stunning frontispiece.
