EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Cocoplum, scientifically known as Chrysobalanus icaco. The artwork, created by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli and engraved by Giarre, this illustration was directed and drawn by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin, considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, beautifully captures the essence of this tropical plant. The Cocoplum is depicted in stunning detail with its luscious fruits hanging delicately from its branches. This botanical masterpiece serves as a testament to Turpin's skill and dedication to capturing nature's beauty. Also known as paradise plum or abajeru, the Cocoplum holds significant importance in botany and natural history studies. Its edible fruits make it not only visually appealing but also a valuable food source. With its vibrant colors and intricate details brought to life through handcoloring techniques on copperplate engravings, this print truly brings out the allure of this remarkable plant species. The Fine Art Finder has once again curated an exceptional piece that allows us to appreciate both artistry and scientific exploration. This print serves as a window into history while reminding us of nature's wonders and our connection to it.
