Cineraria Exotic Gloire Goffart Goossens Horticole Hybrid Lillustration Linden Lucien Tropical Pericallis
EDITORS COMMENTS
Gloire de Moortebeek" is a stunning Pericallis cruenta hybrid, also known as Cineraria cruenta, showcased in this beautiful chromolithograph print. The image, created by the skilled hands of J.L. Goffart, was based on an original illustration by A. Goossens and published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1895. This exotic and tropical plant is a true marvel of nature, with its vibrant, richly colored blooms that add a touch of the tropics to any garden or indoor setting. The "Gloire de Moortebeek" boasts velvety, deep-red bracts that encircle its golden-yellow centers, creating a striking contrast that captivates the eye. Chromolithography, a popular method of printmaking during the late 19th century, was used to create this intricate and detailed representation of the plant. The process involved the transfer of an image from an illustration to a series of limestone plates, which were then inked and printed in multiple colors. The result is a richly layered and vibrant image that brings the beauty of the "Gloire de Moortebeek" to life. This botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill and innovation of the time but also highlights the fascination with exotic and tropical plants during the late Victorian era. The "Gloire de Moortebeek" remains a beloved and iconic example of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. With its rich history, intricate details, and captivating subject matter, this chromolithograph print of the "Gloire de Moortebeek" is a must-have for any botanical art collection or garden enthusiast.
