EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and intricacy of a fig tree, Ficus carica. The image captures both unripe and ripe fruits hanging delicately from a branch, while also providing a detailed section through the fruit itself. Handcoloured with precision, this copperplate stipple engraving is truly a work of art. Created in the 19th century by Stanghi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of France's most esteemed botanical illustrators, this illustration is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, it represents an important contribution to our understanding of botany and natural history. The fig tree depicted here belongs to the species Ficus carica and is commonly known for its delicious edible fruits. The attention to detail in this print allows us to appreciate not only the external appearance but also provides insight into its internal structure - including seeds that lie within. As we admire this exquisite piece of botanical illustration, we are reminded once again how art can beautifully merge with science. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent involved and our fascination with nature's wonders.
