EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Aconitum Napellus, a strikingly beautiful yet deadly plant, as depicted in Phytographie Medicale by Joseph Roques. Published in 1821, this engraving by Hoquart captures the essence of this poisonous flower with remarkable detail and precision. The Aconitum Napellus, also known as helmet flower, turks cap, bears foot, monks hood, friars cap, garden wolfs bane or soldiers cap is not only visually stunning but holds significant medicinal properties. This artwork serves as a study of poisonous plants and their remedies - an exploration into the delicate balance between toxicity and healing. Roques' meticulous depiction invites us to marvel at nature's intricate creations while reminding us of its potential dangers. The root of this plant has been widely used in homeopathic medicine for centuries due to its potent effects. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection and now part of a private collection, this French masterpiece from the early 19th century continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder that even within beauty lies hidden perils – an everlasting testament to the wonders and complexities found in our natural world. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem for all art enthusiasts to appreciate; allowing us to delve into botanical knowledge from centuries past without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
