Protea - Seven Varieties
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning hand-coloured lithograph by the renowned botanical artist G. Severeyns, published as part of the "Encyclographie du regne vegetal: sertum botanicum: collection de plantes" series. This exquisite work, dating from 1823-37, showcases seven captivating varieties of Protea, a genus of flowering plants native to South Africa. Proteas are renowned for their distinctive large, vibrant blooms, which range in colour from rich reds and deep purples to bright yellows and soft pinks. In this intricately detailed lithograph, each flower is rendered with exquisite precision, revealing the intricacies of their structure and the delicate interplay of colour and form. The Protea genus is named after Proteus, the ancient Greek god of the sea, who could change his shape at will. This fitting namesake reflects the diverse range of shapes and sizes found within the Protea family, from the towering Protea cynaroides, or King Protea, to the more compact Protea repens, or Sugarbush. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the 19th century, who meticulously documented the natural world for the benefit of science and art. The "Encyclographie du regne vegetal: sertum botanicum: collection de plantes" series, published by a society of botanists, aimed to create a comprehensive record of the world's plant life, and this Protea print is a prime example of their success. The hand-coloured lithograph technique used by Severeyns allowed for a level of detail and vibrancy that was unmatched by other methods of the time. Each petal, vein, and stem is rendered with care and precision, resulting in an image that is as beautiful as it is accurate. This print is not only a valuable historical document, but also a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
