EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Starfish flower or carrion plant, scientifically known as Stapelia hirsuta Linn. The image, captured by Dupin, the Younger (b. 1753), is a handcoloured copperplate engraving from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Herbier Artificial. The Starfish flower, also referred to as Asclepias d Affrique in French, is depicted in stunning detail and vibrant colors. Its unique star-shaped petals resemble those of a starfish and give this plant its distinctive name. Despite its unusual appearance, this botanical wonder has an undeniable allure that draws viewers closer. The intricate illustration highlights every delicate feature of the Starfish flower with precision and artistry. Jean Victor Dupin junior masterfully brings out the essence of this exotic plant through his skillful use of color and shading techniques. Dating back to 1783 Paris, this piece represents not only a significant contribution to botanical art but also serves as a testament to French culture and history. It is part of Buchoz's extensive collection featuring over fifteen hundred plates showcasing both European and exotic plants. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate this remarkable work without commercial intentions or implications. Let yourself be captivated by the enchanting beauty of nature displayed in this extraordinary print – an ode to botany that transcends time and borders.
