EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored botanical copperplate engraving depicts the exquisite Hyacinth hybrid variety, Marie de Medicis (Hyacinthus orientalis). The engraving was created by the skilled artist Adam Ludwig Wirsing, as part of Christoph Jacob Trew's Hortus nitidissimus, published in Nuremberg in 1774. The Hyacinth, a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, is renowned for its beautiful, vibrant flowers that bloom in the spring. The Marie de Medicis variety, named after the famous Medici queen of France, is a hybrid that showcases the best of the Hyacinth's aesthetic qualities. The engraving captures the intricate details of its elegant, tall spike, adorned with richly colored, bell-shaped flowers. The petals are a captivating shade of deep blue, with white tips and a striking red line running down the center. The contrast between the cool blue and the warm red creates a visually striking effect. The engraving also highlights the delicate, narrow leaves that frame the base of the spike, adding texture and depth to the overall composition. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques bring the Hyacinth to life, making this a true work of art. Botanical illustrations like this one were an essential part of the scientific community during the 18th century. They were used to document and study new plant discoveries, as well as to showcase the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The Hyacinth hybrid variety, Marie de Medicis, remains a beloved and iconic symbol of springtime, and this exquisite engraving is a testament to its enduring allure.
