EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature's underwater wonders. The image features a Peacock's tail, Padina pavonica 1, and Dictyota dichotoma 2, meticulously handcoloured to highlight their vibrant hues. The artist behind this masterpiece is Stanghi, a talented individual from the 19th century who had an eye for capturing the essence of botanical marvels. This particular illustration comes from Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. Carini skillfully engraved this piece with copperplate stipple technique under the direction and guidance of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself was renowned as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an enchanting underwater world filled with brown algae and seaweed known as Padina pavonica and Dictyota dichotoma respectively. These plants not only serve as visual delights but also have practical uses in food preparation due to their edible nature. Florilegius has preserved this exquisite artwork through time, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. Let us immerse ourselves in the mesmerizing details captured by Bridgeman Images' fine art finder while pondering on the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' surface.
