EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Bellis Afric: (African daisy / Osteospermum), 1697-1701" showcases the exquisite beauty of nature captured by the Dutch School in the 17th century. The print measures 39.7x25.3 cm and belongs to a private collection. The artwork is part of a larger publication called "Horti medici Amstelodamensis rariorum plantarum" by Jan Commelin and Caspar Commelin. Published between 1697 and 1701 in Amsterdam by P. & J. Blaeu, this botanical masterpiece presents an array of rare plants from the Amsterdam Physic garden. With its white background, the African daisy takes center stage in this composition. The delicate petals are meticulously hand-tinted with vibrant red hues that bring life to the image. This close-up view allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this flowering plant. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece, we are transported back to the early 18th century when botany was flourishing as a scientific discipline and art form alike. The meticulous hand colouring adds depth and dimension to each petal, making it appear almost lifelike. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and botanical knowledge during that era—a harmonious blend of science and aesthetics preserved for generations to come.
