EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of the Yellow Mombin or Hog Plum, scientifically known as Spondias monbin. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, created by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a testament to the exquisite artistry and precision of botanical illustration. The intricate details captured in this artwork allow us to appreciate the delicate structure of this fruit-bearing plant. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's skillful direction brings forth every nuance and curve of its foliage, while Batelli e Figli's publication ensures that this masterpiece reaches a wider audience. Originating from Florence, Italy in 1837, this illustration was featured in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring the world of botany and natural history. The Yellow Mombin or Hog Plum is not only visually stunning but also holds significance as an edible vegetable. Its red fruits, known as spondia di frutti rossi, are cherished for their unique flavor profile and culinary applications. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of Turpin's legacy as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators. This image encapsulates both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse - a true testament to nature's wonders captured on paper.
