EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Common Ivy: A Historical Botanical Portrayal - Handcoloured Woodblock Print by Wolfgang Meyerpick after Giorgio Liberale's Illustration for Pietro Andrea Mattioli's 'Discorsi di P.A. Matthioli ne i sei libri della Materia Medicinale di Pedacio Dioscoride Anazarbeo' (1568)" This exquisite handcoloured woodblock print showcases the Common Ivy, Hedera helix (also known as Hedera arborea), as it was depicted in the botanical masterpiece, 'Discorsi di P.A. Matthioli ne i sei libri della Materia Medicinale di Pedacio Dioscoride Anazarbeo,' published in Venice in 1568. The print is the work of Wolfgang Meyerpick, based on an original illustration by Giorgio Liberale. The Common Ivy, a native of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, is renowned for its ability to climb walls and trees using aerial roots. In this intricately detailed print, the ivy's winding tendrils cling to a stone wall, its glossy, lobed leaves cascading downwards. The print's vibrant colours bring the ivy to life, capturing the essence of its lush foliage and tenacious growth. Botanical illustrations, such as this one, played a crucial role in the development of natural history and medicine during the Renaissance period. Pietro Andrea Mattioli's 'Discorsi' was a comprehensive commentary on Pedacio Dioscorides Anazarbeo's 'Materia Medicinale,' an influential text on the medicinal properties of plants. The publication of such works facilitated the dissemination of accurate botanical knowledge, contributing to advancements in various fields, including pharmacology and horticulture. This remarkable handcoloured woodblock print is not only a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the Renaissance era but also a beautiful representation of the Common Ivy, a plant that continues to captivate and inspire.
