EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching showcases the captivating beauty of the Carnation, Dianthus caryophyllus, also known as the Garden Carnation or Loeillet of the Red and Feathered Gardens. The image is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The intricate detail of the etching highlights the delicate petals of the carnation, which are arranged in a graceful spiral, revealing their rich, velvety texture. The vibrant red hue of the flower is beautifully contrasted by the delicate white and pink edges, giving it an almost otherworldly allure. The etching also showcases the long, green stems and leaves, adding to the overall natural beauty of the composition. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. The Carnation was highly prized in both Chinese and European gardens during the 18th century, and this etching serves as a testament to its enduring charm and appeal. The intricacy and artistry of this print make it a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art or garden history.
