EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Madam Gorgon, Acicarpha tribuloides" takes us back to the 19th century, where botanical illustrations were highly valued for their scientific and artistic qualities. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving showcases the intricate details of this unique plant species. Acicarpha tribuloides, commonly known as Madam Gorgon or Cryptocarpha tribuloides, is the star of this composition. Its delicate leaves and vibrant fruits are beautifully captured by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of his time. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli and engraved by Cellai under Turpin's direction, this illustration comes from Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). It serves as a testament to the importance placed on documenting and understanding nature during that era. The exquisite detail in this artwork allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its scientific significance. This particular species is edible and belongs to the vegetable family. Its inclusion in Jussieu's dictionary highlights its relevance within botany and natural history studies. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now admire this stunning piece that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific accuracy.
