EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of an orangery, as depicted in Jan Commelin's "De Nederlandze Hesperides". Published in 1676, this engraving showcases a Dutch merchant's garden filled with rare and delicate fruit trees and plants. The orangery served as a sanctuary for these precious specimens, allowing them to thrive in a sheltered environment. The image reveals rows of potted citrus trees, carefully cultivated within the ornate interior of the orangery. Each tree stands tall and vibrant, their branches adorned with luscious oranges and lemons. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing the mastery of both Commelin and G. B. Ferrari, whose treatise from 1646 inspired this stunning depiction. As we gaze upon this artwork from the Stapleton Collection, we are transported back to a time when such gardens were considered symbols of wealth and prestige. The orangery was not only a testament to one's affluence but also represented man's desire to conquer nature by nurturing exotic plants outside their natural habitat. This print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our relentless pursuit to harness its beauty for our own pleasure. It invites us into a world where artistry meets horticulture—a realm where delicate orange trees flourish under human care while simultaneously igniting our imagination with dreams of far-off lands.
