Azalea Exotic Horticole Indica Indicum Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Rhododendron Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Joseph Vervaenes Azalea, Rhododendron indicum (Azalea indica var. vervaeneana), a tropical plant that has captivated horticulturists and botanical enthusiasts for over a century. The image, created by the skilled hand of Belgian lithographer P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1884, showcases the vibrant beauty of this exotic flower in all its glory. The Joseph Vervaenes Azalea is a hybrid of Rhododendron indicum and Azalea indica, with distinctive features that set it apart from its relatives. Its large, velvety blooms come in shades of pink and red, with a captivating fragrance that adds to its allure. The plant's lush, evergreen foliage provides a lush backdrop for the flowers, which bloom in late spring or early summer. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and leaves are expertly rendered in this lithograph, making it a prized addition to any botanical collection. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the use of multiple colors, adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Azalea to life on the page. The Joseph Vervaenes Azalea was named in honor of Joseph Vervaene, a Belgian botanist and horticulturist who was instrumental in the development of the Belgian school of horticulture in the late 19th century. His dedication to the cultivation and study of exotic plants like the Azalea made him a respected figure in the botanical community, and this beautiful lithograph serves as a testament to his legacy. This image is not only a work of art, but also a valuable record of the rich biodiversity of the plant world. The Joseph Vervaenes Azalea remains a popular choice for gardeners and collectors alike, and this stunning lithograph is a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world.
