EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures the delicate beauty of the Parma violet, Viola odorata var. parmensis. Created by Desire Bois in 1896 for Edward Steps' renowned book "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" this botanical illustration showcases the Victorian era's fascination with horticulture and natural history. The Parma violet, also known as Viola alba hybrid, is depicted in exquisite detail, its petals displaying a soft lavender hue that evokes a sense of tranquility. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to each petal and leaf, creating a visual symphony that enchants any observer. This print serves as a testament to the scientific exploration and artistic expression prevalent during the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate not only the aesthetic allure of flowers but also their significance within botany and horticulture. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to an era where gardens were meticulously cultivated and cherished. The Parma violet symbolizes elegance and grace while reminding us of nature's ability to inspire awe. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder for our enjoyment today. Let it serve as a reminder of humanity's enduring love affair with flora—a timeless connection that continues to enrich our lives through both science and art.
