EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Gumbo-limbo tree, also known as Bursera simaruba. The artwork, created by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration is a testament to Turpin's exceptional talent as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The Gumbo-limbo tree, with its distinctive red bark and lush foliage, takes center stage in this composition. Its scientific names - Bursera gummifera and Bursera gommifera - highlight its historical significance in producing gum resin. This versatile tree has various common names such as copperwood, chaca, and turpentine tree due to its multiple uses. The print not only captures the visual allure of this plant but also emphasizes its importance in natural history and botany. With meticulous detail and vibrant colors brought to life through handcolouring techniques, it serves as an educational tool for those interested in studying plants or exploring their edible properties. This remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind botanical illustrations and the rich diversity found within our natural world. As we admire this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of nature's intricate wonders that continue to inspire artists throughout history.
