EDITORS COMMENTS
Arabian Jasmine, Jasminum sambac: A Delicate and Fragrant Blossom from the East This exquisite handcoloured etching, titled "Le vrai Jasmin d'Arabie" or "The True Arabian Jasmine," is a captivating depiction of the enchanting Arabian jasmine, Jasminum sambac. Dating back to 1776, this rare and precious artwork is part of the Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, which showcases the most beautiful and curious flowers cultivated in both Chinese and European gardens. The Arabian jasmine, also known as the Arabian or true jasmine, is a small, evergreen shrub native to the Middle East and India. Its delicate, white, star-shaped flowers bloom in clusters and emit a sweet, intoxicating aroma, making it a highly sought-after plant for its captivating beauty and fragrance. In this stunning etching, the Arabian jasmine is artfully rendered with intricate detail, revealing its delicate petals, veined leaves, and the delicate tendrils that gracefully cling to its stems. The presence of a butterfly adds an element of whimsy and life to the scene, emphasizing the connection between the flower and the natural world. Handcoloured etchings like this one were popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, as they allowed artists to capture the intricacies and nuances of their subjects in a way that no other medium could. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colours used in this etching serve to highlight the beauty and allure of the Arabian jasmine, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
