EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two distinct species of cornflowers, expertly captured in watercolor by Francesco Peyrolery in 1765. The first image portrays the Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), a delicate herbaceous annual plant native to Asia and Europe, renowned for its vibrant blue petals. Its enchanting presence makes it a popular choice for flower beds and cut arrangements. In contrast, the second illustration depicts the Perennial or Mountain Cornflower (Centaurea montana), a resilient herbaceous perennial that thrives in rocky gardens across Italy. With its striking purple-blue blossoms and sturdy stems, this wildflower adds an element of natural charm to any landscape. Peyrolery's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his precise rendering of each leaf, stem, and petal. The white background accentuates the intricate features of these botanical wonders while allowing their colors to shine vibrantly. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Herbal collection of the 18th-19th century Iconographia Taurinensis series, we are reminded of nature's diverse offerings. This artwork serves as both an educational tool for botany enthusiasts and a visual delight for art lovers alike
