EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 3 from Pomona Franconica, Vol 2 (1779) by the renowned German botanical illustrator Johann Mayer of Wurzburg, presents a captivating and meticulously detailed sketch of two fruit trees in full bloom. This exquisite illustration, created in the heart of the 19th century, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of nature. Mayer's mastery of the art of botanical illustration is evident in the delicate rendering of the trees' foliage, the precise depiction of their branches laden with blossoms, and the vibrant colors of their fruit. The first tree is identified as a pear tree, its branches adorned with white and pink blossoms, and small green pears beginning to form. The second tree is labeled as a quince tree, its branches adorned with pink and orange blossoms, and yellow quince fruits hanging in clusters. The Pomona Franconica series, published in two volumes between 1778 and 1781, is considered one of the most significant works of botanical illustration from the 18th century. Mayer's dedication to accuracy and beauty is evident in each of the 500 plates, which showcase a diverse range of fruits and trees from Europe and beyond. This particular plate, with its depiction of two fruit trees in bloom, is a testament to Mayer's unwavering commitment to capturing the essence of nature in all its splendor. The intricate details of this illustration transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world as it was observed and documented over 200 years ago. Mayer's Pomona Franconica remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and a source of inspiration for artists and nature lovers alike.
