1866 Bottle Centaurea Cyanus Pla Nts Corn Flower
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautiful 1866 print of Centaurea Cyanus, commonly known as the Blue Bottle or Cornflower. This historical image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a simpler era, where the beauty of nature was a source of inspiration and wonder. The Blue Bottle is a beloved wildflower, native to Europe and parts of Asia. Its distinctive blue hue and unique bottle-shaped buds have captivated artists, poets, and naturalists for centuries. In this print, the Cornflower is shown in all its glory, its vibrant blue petals unfurled around a central disc of golden yellow. The intricate details of the flower's structure are beautifully rendered, from the delicate veins on the petals to the intricate patterns on the stem and leaves. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Cornflower. Its history dates back to ancient times, with references to the plant found in the works of Pliny and Dioscorides. The Cornflower was also a favorite of the Victorians, who used it to decorate their gardens and bouquets. The print itself is a work of art, with its rich blue tones and intricate detailing. The use of cross-hatching and shading techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century botanical illustration. Whether you're a botanist, an artist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this print is a must-have addition to your collection. It's a reminder of the rich history of the natural world and the enduring appeal of the simple pleasures of the past.
