EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Iris variegata" or Hungarian iris, is a captivating masterpiece from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. The intricately detailed image showcases the allure of this unique iris species, with its vibrant, multicolored petals and distinctive panache, or central guide, adding an air of elegance and mystery. The Hungarian iris, also known as Iris variegata, is a rare and beautiful plant that has captivated botanists and gardeners for centuries. Originating from Eastern Europe, this iris species is characterized by its variegated petals, which display a stunning array of colors, from rich purples and pinks to delicate whites and yellows. The iris's distinctive panache, a central guide or marking on the falls (the lower petals), adds an extra layer of intrigue and visual interest. This hand-colored etching, part of Buchoz's esteemed collection, offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century botanical illustration. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors bring the Hungarian iris to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and rarity in a way that transcends time. The etching also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of these enchanting flowers, which continue to inspire and delight gardeners and art lovers alike. The etching is a rare and valuable piece of botanical art, showcasing the Hungarian iris in all its splendor. Its inclusion in Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses" further underscores the significance of this iris species in the world of horticulture and botanical illustration.
