EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Crocus maesiacus, 1836" is a stunning representation of nature's beauty. Created by Pancrace Bessa (1772-1835), this print showcases the delicate intricacies of the Crocus maesiacus flower. Part of the private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this artwork is an illustration from "Flore des jardiniers, amateurs et manufacturiers: D aprAs les dessins de Bessa". It features extracts from the Herbier de l'amateur and highlights an autumn-flowering species found in the Alps. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this engraving. From the cross-section view that reveals the inner structure of the plant to each petal meticulously hand-coloured, it exudes a sense of botanical accuracy. It's important not to confuse this particular crocus with its more famous counterpart - Saffron crocus. While both belong to the same family, they possess distinct characteristics and bloom during different seasons. This enchanting artwork serves as a testament to Bessa's talent and passion for botany. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate his contribution to scientific illustration while immersing ourselves in nature's wonders.
