EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print by Francesco Peyrolery showcases the Solanaceae, commonly known as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna). The suffruticose deciduous plant is native to Italy and has been widely used for its medicinal properties. The intricate details of this botanical illustration bring the plant to life on a white background, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and complexity. The delicate flowers, with their enchanting shades of purple and green, contrast elegantly against the vibrant green leaves and sturdy stem. Dating back to 1752, this artwork is a testament to the rich history of herbal studies during the 18th century. It serves as a valuable resource for botany enthusiasts and researchers alike, providing an insight into how plants were studied and documented in that era. Belladonna holds great significance in biology due to its classification within the Solanaceae family. Its toxic nature has earned it the name "Deadly Nightshade" making it both intriguing and dangerous at once. Francesco Peyrolery's masterful use of watercolors brings out every intricate detail of this fascinating plant species.
