EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases plate 313 from the renowned botanical work "Hesperides sive de Malorum Aureorum Cultura et Usu Libri Quatuor" by Giovanni Battista Ferrari, published in 1646. The engraving, created by Cornelis Bloemaert, measures 35.1x23.4 cm and is now held in a private collection. The image depicts a cross-section of an Adams Apple, revealing its intricate inner structure and vibrant colors. This Baroque-inspired artwork beautifully captures the essence of Italian sour lemons with its meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair. Giovanni Battista Ferrari, a prominent figure in natural history during the Baroque period, authored this groundbreaking book dedicated solely to citrus fruit. It remains one of the earliest works on this subject matter and features exquisite botanical illustrations like this one. The composition is adorned with delicate ribbons that add an elegant touch to the depiction of these bitter yet flavorful fruits. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the scientific significance and aesthetic beauty found within nature's bounty. With its rich historical context and contribution to botany as a science, this print serves as a testament to human curiosity and our enduring fascination with food and natural history.
