EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of the Achiote or lipstick tree, scientifically known as Bixa orellana. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, transports us to a world where botanical wonders come alive on paper. The Achiote tree, also referred to as annatto plant or Bissa oriana, is depicted in exquisite detail through handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving. This technique brings out the intricate patterns and textures of its foliage and fruit with remarkable precision. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration is a testament to Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's exceptional talent as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image holds significant scientific value. It allows us to explore the various uses and properties associated with this remarkable plant. From food and spice to condiment and dye, every aspect of the Achiote tree has been meticulously documented for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that nature's creations are not only visually stunning but also hold immense potential for our sustenance and well-being.
