EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored stipple engraving depicts the Judas Tree, Cercis siliquastrum, a beautiful and historically significant plant species native to the eastern Mediterranean. The engraving is based on an illustration by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute and was hand-engraved by Tassaert for Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's "Traite des Arbres et Arbustes," published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. The Judas Tree derives its common name from the biblical account of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus Christ, which traditionally holds that the tree bears red flowers that symbolize Judas' guilt and betrayal. However, the tree's true significance lies in its stunning appearance. The tree is characterized by its attractive, pendulous, pink to purple pea-like flowers that bloom in early spring, and its distinctive heart-shaped leaves that turn a bright yellow in autumn. The intricate details of the tree's foliage, flowers, and bark are beautifully rendered in this engraving, showcasing the exceptional skill of both Redoute and Tassaert. The delicate shading and precise lines capture the textures and forms of the tree, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge that was being documented and disseminated during the 19th century. The Judas Tree remains a beloved and iconic species, and this stunning engraving continues to capture the imagination and admiration of botanists, artists, and nature lovers alike.
