EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning colored engraving of Ivy (Hedera helix nigra aurea) by the renowned botanist Leonhart Fuchs. Taken from his remarkable work, De historia stirpium commentarii insignes (Notable Commentaries on the History of Plants), published in 1542, this image transports us back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the world of botanical exploration. The intricate details captured in this close-up shot allow us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Ivy's leaves. The golden hues that adorn its dark foliage create an exquisite contrast, making it truly stand out. This particular species belongs to Araliaceae family and is commonly known as Common Ivy or Hedera helix nigra aurea. Fuchs' mastery as both an illustrator and scientist shines through in this engraved image. His meticulous attention to detail brings each element of Ivy's structure to life - from its roots to its matted growth pattern. Latin script accompanies the illustration, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of Fuchs' contribution to botany but also how plants have fascinated humans throughout history. This print serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with nature's wonders and reminds us that even centuries-old illustrations can still captivate our imagination today.
