New Gate to the Gardens of the Continental Horticultural Society, Ghent, Belgium: A Woodcut Masterpiece by Kettenbach from Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole Step into a world of horticultural wonder and enchantment with this stunning woodcut print of the New Gate to the Gardens of the Continental Horticultural Society in Ghent, Belgium. Created by the renowned woodcut artist Kettenbach, under the direction of Jean Linden, this image is taken from the Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1883. The New Gate serves as an inviting entrance to the lush gardens and parklands of the Continental Horticultural Society, a prestigious institution dedicated to the cultivation and study of plants. The gate is adorned with intricate carvings of tropical and exotic foliage, showcasing the Society's commitment to botanical diversity. As we gaze through the gate, our eyes are drawn to the serene pond, its tranquil waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding foliage. A carriage, drawn by two horses, passes through the gate, adding a sense of movement and life to the scene. The gate's ornate design, with its delicate arches and intricate details, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The woodcut technique, masterfully executed by Kettenbach and Jean Linden, brings the image to life with its rich textures and bold lines. The use of cross-hatching and shading adds depth and dimension to the print, making it a true work of art. This New Gate to the Gardens of the Continental Horticultural Society is not only a beautiful and intriguing work of art, but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of botanical exploration and discovery that flourished during the late 19th century. Whether you're an avid gardener, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this woodcut print is sure to captivate and inspire you.
