EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Celidonium Majus, also known as greater celandine. Taken from Phytographie Medicale by Joseph Roques, a renowned botanist and artist from the 19th century, this engraving was published in 1821. The image captures the root, flower, and leaves of Celidonium Majus with remarkable detail and precision. The vibrant yellow flowers stand out against the lush green foliage, creating a visually striking composition. Celidonium Majus has been used since Roman times for its medicinal properties. It was traditionally employed to treat warts and corns due to its potent healing abilities. However, it is worth noting that its effectiveness in treating eye ailments has been less successful. Phytographie Medicale serves as an invaluable resource for studying poisonous plants along with their remedies and properties. This particular print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of botanical exploration during the early 19th century. Displayed in a private collection within The Stapleton Collection, this French masterpiece continues to captivate audiences even today. Its historical significance combined with its artistic excellence makes it a truly remarkable piece of art.
