EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from 1836 showcases the exquisite beauty of Calendula officinalis, commonly known as Pot Marigold. Created by Pancrace Bessa, a renowned French artist, this print is part of the private collection housed in The Stapleton Collection. The vibrant yellow petals and delicate leaves of the Pot Marigold are captured with remarkable precision, highlighting its natural allure. This particular variety serves as the original source for all cultivated marigolds we see today. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Calendula officinalis holds significant medicinal value and has been used to treat dermatitis for centuries. Taken from "Flore des jardiniers, amateurs et manufacturiers: D'après les dessins de Bessa" this engraving exemplifies Bessa's talent in botanical illustration. It offers a glimpse into his extensive herbier (herbarium) collection that catered to both gardening enthusiasts and manufacturers alike. Displayed against a neutral background, this print allows viewers to focus solely on the intricate details of the flower. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for art lovers worldwide to appreciate this historical masterpiece through their fine art finder platform. As you admire this enchanting depiction of nature's wonders, let yourself be transported back in time to an era when botanical illustrations were not only admired but also served as valuable educational tools.
