EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock print of Senna alexandrina captures the intricate beauty of this medicinal plant. Created in the 16th century by Wolfgang Meyerpick after an illustration by Giorgio Liberale, this botanical artwork is a true masterpiece.
Senna alexandrina, also known as senna, has been used for centuries in herbal medicine for its laxative properties. This detailed print showcases the plant's distinctive seed pods and leaves with remarkable precision.
The rich history and cultural significance of this plant are evident in every stroke of the woodcut. From Venice, Italy to botanical boards around the world, senna has played a vital role in traditional medicine practices.
Pietro Andrea Mattioli's Discorsi di P.A. Matthioli ne i sei libri della Materia Medicinale di Pedacio Dioscoride Anazarbeo serves as the foundation for this exquisite illustration, highlighting the importance of botanical knowledge throughout history.
As you admire this piece of art, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating such a detailed representation of nature's wonders. The combination of Wolfgang Meyerpick's skillful handcolouring and Giorgio Liberale's original design truly brings Senna alexandrina to life on paper.
