EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases two exquisite varieties of pears, Pyrus communis: Blood and Madame pears. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this hand-colored copperplate engraving truly bring these fruits to life.
Originally featured in G.T. Wilhelm's "Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte" (Encyclopedia of Natural History) in Vienna in 1816, this botanical illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity found in nature.
The Blood pear, also known as Blutbirn, is a richly colored fruit with a deep red hue that hints at its juicy sweetness. In contrast, the Madame pear, or Franzmadame, exudes elegance with its delicate shape and pale yellow skin.
Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm, the Bavarian clergyman and naturalist behind this masterpiece, has captured the essence of these pear varieties with precision and artistry. Each detail from the ripe fruits to the lush foliage serves as a reminder of the wonders of our natural world.
Whether you're an avid botanist or simply appreciate fine art, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire a deeper appreciation for the beauty found in even the simplest of things.
