EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print showcases a stunning array of tulip varieties, with a focus on Tulipa gesneriana and its captivating offshoots. The central image features Tulipa odorata 'flore luteo gemino' (yellow double-flowered), its petals unfurling in a delicate dance around the stem. To the left, Tulipa explicata 'florum candidorum linearum rubearian' (white candida with red lines) presents a striking contrast with its vibrant hue and linear stripes. Adorning the right side of the print, Tulipa ex luteo rubro et viridi variegata (yellow and green variegated) adds an element of surprise with its intriguing marbled foliage. The intricate details of these tulips are masterfully captured in this engraving by renowned botanical illustrator Johann Weinmann, as part of his comprehensive work, 'Phytanthoza Iconographia' published in Ratisbonae (Regensburg) in 1736. Weinmann's meticulous attention to detail and artistic prowess are evident in the intricate veining on the tulip petals and the precise rendering of their textures. Georg Dionysus Ehret, a renowned botanical artist, contributed to the creation of this print, lending his expertise to the accurate representation of these exquisite tulip varieties. This print not only serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific advancements of the 18th century, but also showcases the timeless beauty and allure of these beloved bulbs. The tulips in this print are not only a feast for the eyes, but also a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and discovery that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
