EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Le grand Liseron violet" or "The Large Purple Bindweed," showcases the captivating beauty of the Convolvulus species, more commonly known as Bindweed or Morning Glory. Dating back to 1776, this stunning artwork is an essential addition to the renowned collection "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," curated by Pierre Joseph Buchoz. The intricate detailing of this etching highlights the delicate, winding tendrils of the Bindweed plant as it gracefully climbs up a trellis. The vibrant, rich hues of the hand-coloring bring the deep purple blooms to life, their ethereal petals unfurling to reveal their intricate, star-shaped centers. The contrast between the lush greens of the foliage and the deep, regal purples of the flowers creates a breathtaking visual harmony. Buchoz's collection was a testament to the artistry and botanical knowledge of the time, featuring an extensive array of flowers from both European and Chinese gardens. This etching is a prime example of the meticulous attention to detail and the unparalleled beauty that was celebrated during the 18th century. The Bindweed, with its enchanting, twining vines and alluring flowers, continues to captivate gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike. This etching serves as a timeless reminder of the captivating allure of these enchanting plants, which have graced gardens for centuries.
