EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history, as John Rose, the Kings Gardener, presents Charles II with a pineapple - supposedly the first ever grown in England. Painted by Hendrick Danckerts or attributed to him, this oil on canvas artwork is housed at Ham House in Surrey, UK. The scene unfolds at Dorney Court in Berkshire, the residence of the Palmer family. It was here that Barbara Villiers married Roger Palmer and later became the mistress of Charles II. The King bestowed upon her various titles including Duchess of Cleveland and Duchess of Castlemaine. In this painting, we witness Rose kneeling before his monarch as he offers this exotic fruit. The symbolism behind this gesture speaks volumes about horticulture's significance during that era and showcases Britain's growing fascination with botanical discoveries from far-flung lands. Not only does this artwork highlight royalty and power dynamics within Great Britain but it also sheds light on scientific advancements and natural history exploration during that time period. Through its meticulous details and vibrant colors, Danckerts (or an artist associated with him) has masterfully captured a historical moment where art meets botany. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of how art can beautifully intertwine with science to create lasting impressions throughout generations.
