EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock print captures the intricate beauty of Alder buckthorn or glossy buckthorn, Frangula alnus. Created in the 16th century by Wolfgang Meyerpick after an illustration by Giorgio Liberale, this botanical artwork is a true masterpiece from Pietro Andrea Mattioli's Discorsi di P.A. The detailed depiction of the plant showcases its unique characteristics and serves as a valuable resource for understanding its medicinal properties.
The vibrant colors and delicate lines bring this ancient botanical illustration to life, highlighting the importance of plants in medical botany during that time period. The collaboration between Meyerpick, Liberale, and Mattioli resulted in a visually striking representation of Alder buckthorn that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
Displayed on a wooden board with other various plants, this woodcut engraving exemplifies the artistry and precision required to create such detailed botanical illustrations. The historical significance of this piece is further emphasized by its inclusion in Vincenzo Valgrisi's publication in Venice in 1568.
As we admire this exquisite print today, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of herbal medicine and the timeless beauty found within nature's creations. This work stands as a testament to the skill and dedication of artists throughout history who sought to document and celebrate the wonders of our natural world.
