EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Paeonia Moutan" takes us back to the 18th century Dutch School of art. The image showcases the delicate beauty of a vibrant pink and white peony flower, known as China's national flower during the Qing Dynasty. Published in 1799, this colour stipple engraving is part of a private collection called The Stapleton Collection. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of this majestic tree peony; from its elegant foliage and leafy branches to its enchanting seed head. This botanical masterpiece not only celebrates the aesthetic allure of the peony but also highlights its medicinal properties. In fact, the root bark of this remarkable plant has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Revered as the "king of flowers". Paeonia Moutan holds great significance in both Chinese culture and botany. Its therapeutic qualities have made it an essential ingredient in various health remedies throughout history. As we admire this exquisite engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that art can be a window into different eras and cultures. It allows us to appreciate nature's wonders while uncovering fascinating stories behind each brushstroke or etching tool mark. Let this stunning print transport you to a time when floral beauty merged with ancient healing traditions – where petals became potent remedies and blossoms turned into works of art.
