EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored print of Meadow saffron, Colchicum autumnale captures the delicate beauty of this poisonous flower. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the essence of autumn in Florence, Italy where it was illustrated by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin in 1837.
Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator, skillfully depicted the Meadow saffron with precision and accuracy. The graceful petals and slender stems seem to dance on the page, evoking a sense of tranquility and elegance.
The Meadow saffron is also known as naked lady due to its habit of flowering without any foliage present. Despite its alluring appearance, this flower contains toxic alkaloids that can be harmful if ingested.
Displayed against a backdrop of European landscapes and Tuscan scenery, this print serves as a reminder of the changing seasons and the fleeting beauty of nature. It is a testament to Turpin's mastery as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of botanical specimens with unparalleled skill.
