EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching showcases the enchanting Belladonna Lily, Amaryllis belladonna, from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses (Precious and Gilded Flowers of the Most Beautiful and Curious Flowers, which are cultivated in both Chinese and European Gardens), published in Paris in 1776. The Belladonna Lily, also known as the Naked Lady Amaryllis, is a striking and alluring bloom, characterized by its tall, unbranched stem and bell-shaped, hooded flowers. The flower's vibrant, rich purple color and the intricate veining on its petals add to its captivating beauty. The Belladonna Lily is native to South America, but it has been cultivated in Europe and Asia for centuries due to its unique and intriguing appearance. The plant's name, Belladonna, comes from the Italian word for beautiful lady, a fitting name for this elegant and alluring flower. The etching, produced during the height of the Rococo period, showcases the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The delicate hand-coloring adds depth and dimension to the image, bringing out the intricate patterns and textures of the Belladonna Lily's petals. The etching also highlights the natural beauty of the flower, capturing its ethereal and otherworldly quality. This Belladonna Lily etching is a testament to the beauty and allure of nature, as well as the artistic skill and creativity of the time. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of flowers and the role they play in inspiring art and beauty throughout history.
