EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of various carnation varieties, all belonging to the Dianthus caryophyllus species. Carnations have been admired for centuries for their fragrant flowers and ornamental value. In this exquisite illustration, we find several noteworthy cultivars, such as Superba alba, with its pristine white petals, and corolla purpurea rubra, boasting vibrant red blooms. The Superba maior floralba exhibits a delightful blend of white and pink hues, while Armeria alba et rubra multiplex presents an intriguing mix of white and red flowers. Moreover, Armeria altera multifloribus ornata showcases an abundance of star-shaped flowers, adding to the overall charm of this botanical masterpiece. The intricate details of each petal, vein, and leaf are meticulously rendered, highlighting the dedication and skill of the Dutch painter and nurseryman, Pierre Valet, who created this work for Emanuel Sweerts' Florilegium Amplissimum et Selectissimum. The engraving, published in Frankfurt in 1612, is a testament to the rich European tradition of botanical illustration during the early modern period. This image invites us to appreciate the diverse beauty of carnations and the artistry of those who documented their splendour. The delicate interplay of colour, form, and detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these beloved flowers.
