EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of Carlina Simplex, also known as the Alpine Thistle. The artwork was created by the Austrian School in the 19th century and measures 46x33 cm. It belongs to a private collection and is an exquisite example of botanical illustration. The delicate beauty of the alpine thistle is captured in this close-up image, revealing its intricate flowerhead and leafy structure. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. Published in Vienna by M. A. Schmidt between 1799-1812, this engraving is part of Franz de Paula Adam Waldstein's Descriptiones et Icones Plantarum Rariorum Hungariae series. Engraved by Karl Schutz based on drawings by Johann Schutz, it exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of botanical art. The timeless elegance of this piece transcends time periods, with elements that evoke both late eighteenth-century aesthetics and early nineteenth-century sensibilities. Its white colour palette lends a sense of purity and grace to the composition. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind this engraving but also offers insight into botany during that era. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders throughout history.
