EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock print captures the delicate beauty of the Asphodel plant, Asphodelus ramosus. 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 intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient medicinal plant to life, showcasing its importance in herbal medicine during that time.
The Asphodel plant has long been associated with myths and legends, believed to be a symbol of remembrance and immortality in Greek mythology. Its elegant white flowers and slender stems are beautifully depicted in this print, highlighting its graceful presence in nature.
Displayed against a backdrop of Venetian scenery, this woodcut print not only serves as a botanical study but also as a window into the artistic techniques of the Renaissance period. The collaboration between Meyerpick, Liberale, and Mattioli resulted in a work that continues to inspire viewers centuries later.
Whether you appreciate it for its historical significance or simply admire its aesthetic appeal, this handcoloured woodblock print of Asphodel is sure to captivate all who gaze upon it.
