Exotic Foliage Horticole Hybridum Lillustration Linden Lucien Madame Pannemaeker Rhododendron Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Rhododendron hybridum, commonly known as Madame Linden. Rhododendrons are a diverse genus of woody plants in the heath family, native to the Eastern Himalayas, Northern China, and Nepal. This particular hybrid, Madame Linden, was first introduced to European horticulture in the late 19th century. The Rhododendron hybridum is renowned for its vibrant, velvety pink blooms that appear in early summer. The plant boasts glossy, dark-green foliage, which provides a rich backdrop for the brilliant flowers. The intricate details of the Rhododendron's leaves and petals are beautifully captured in this chromolithograph, a printing technique that allowed for the creation of rich, vibrant colors. This illustration was drawn and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian botanical artist, Paul de Pannemaeker, based on a drawing from Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration, published in Brussels in 1873. De Pannemaeker was a leading figure in European botanical illustration, and his work was widely admired for its accuracy and artistic merit. The Rhododendron hybridum, Madame Linden, was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, where it was prized for its exotic allure and its ability to thrive in cooler climates. Today, it remains a beloved plant among gardeners and plant enthusiasts, and its beautiful flowers continue to captivate and inspire. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of these magnificent plants, and to the artistry and skill of the botanical illustrators who brought them to life in such stunning detail.
