EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Bengal rose, Rosa chinensis, with its unique green-hued flowers. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856. The Bengal rose, also known as the Chinese rose, is a captivating hybrid that deviates from the traditional red, pink, or white blooms commonly associated with roses. Instead, this rare variety boasts velvety green petals, adding a fresh and unexpected twist to the classic flower. The intricate details of the rose's delicate structure are masterfully captured in this lithograph, revealing the intricacies of its velvety texture and the delicate veining of its leaves. The publication, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe," was a comprehensive and influential work that documented the most exotic and rare plant species found in European gardens and hothouses during the 19th century. The collaborative effort between Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires resulted in a stunning collection of botanical illustrations, which showcased the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This Bengal rose lithograph is a testament to the artists' skill and dedication to capturing the essence of this rare and captivating flower. The handcolouring technique adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
