EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "La natura e cultura dei fiori fisicamente esposta" (The Nature and Culture of Flowers Physically Displayed), is a stunning allegorical scene created by the renowned Italian artist Mario Cammerari in 1771. The image depicts the goddess Flora, crowned with a garden of vibrant flowers, extending floral tributes to three revered figures. In the foreground, Flora presents a bouquet to Botany, who is depicted holding an alembic. Botany, the personification of the scientific study of plants, is shown in the act of distillation, symbolizing the scientific exploration and understanding of the natural world. The alembic, a traditional apparatus used in the distillation process, represents the scientific methods and techniques employed in the field of botany. To the right of Flora stands Physics, represented by a figure looking intently through a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass symbolizes the close observation and analysis required in the scientific study of the physical world. Physics, as a discipline, is often seen as the foundation of all natural sciences, and its inclusion in this scene emphasizes the interconnectedness of various scientific fields. Lastly, Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees and gardens, is shown to the left of Flora. She holds a spade in one hand and a basket of ripe fruit in the other. Pomona represents the cultivation and harvesting of plants, highlighting the practical applications of botanical knowledge. The spade symbolizes the labor and effort required to cultivate and maintain gardens, while the basket of fruit underscores the bounty and beauty of nature. This image serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of science, nature, and art during the 18th century, as well as the importance of botanical knowledge in various aspects of life.
