EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "La Capucine, or Garden Nasturtium, Tropaeolum majus," is a stunning example of the intricate beauty found in Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The image captures the vibrant and alluring qualities of the Nasturtium plant, a favorite in both Chinese and European gardens of the time. The etching showcases the distinctive features of the Nasturtium, with its heart-shaped leaves and bright, orangish-yellow flowers adorned with red and black markings. The intricate detailing of the veins on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flower are expertly rendered, highlighting the artist's mastery of the etching technique. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the Nasturtium to life with its vivid hues. The overall effect is one of elegance and beauty, making this etching a prized possession for any botanical enthusiast or collector. The title, "La Capucine," refers to the Capuchin monks, who were known for their gardens and herb cultivation. The Nasturtium was believed to have medicinal properties, and was often grown in monastery gardens for this reason. The etching serves as a testament to the appreciation for the natural world and the artistry of the past, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
