Giovanni Antonio Bottione, a talented watercolor artist from the 18th century, captured the beauty of various plant species in his exquisite paintings. One of his notable works is the depiction of the Cinnamon Rose (Rosa Cinnamomea), a thorny shrub commonly used for hedges. Native to Europe and Northern Asia, this delicate flower showcases its vibrant petals in Bottione's artwork. In another masterpiece by Bottione, he portrays the Speedwell (Veronica longifolia subsessilis) from the Scrophulariaceae family. This herbaceous perennial plant adds charm to flower beds and can be found spontaneously growing in Italy. The intricate details captured by Bottione highlight its elegance and natural allure. Bottione also explored the enchanting world of Ranunculaceae with his painting of Yellow Monkshood or Healing Wolfsbane (Aconitum anthora). Known for its toxic properties, this stunning flower stands out with its bright yellow hue against a backdrop of lush green leaves. The Illyrian Sea Lily (Pancratium illyricum) is yet another botanical wonder that caught Bottione's attention. Collaborating with Francesco Peyrolery, they created an extraordinary watercolor piece showcasing this Amaryllidaceae member native to coastal regions around Italy's Adriatic Sea. Its graceful white flowers seem to dance on paper under their skilled brushstrokes. Moving across continents, Giovanni Antonio Bottione explores North America's flora through his portrayal of Cutleaf Coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata). Belonging to Asteraceae or Compositae family, this herbaceous perennial plant adds vibrancy to any garden bed with its golden-yellow petals surrounding a dark brown center. Venturing into tropical America, Bottione captures the essence of Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus) from Fabaceae family.
