EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Chrysanthemum indicum with Dragonfly," is a captivating masterpiece from the renowned Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The image showcases the radiant beauty of Chrysanthemum indicum, commonly known as the Chrysanthemum or the Flower of Harvest. The name Chrysanthemum indicum is derived from the Greek words 'chrysos' meaning gold and 'anthos' meaning flower. This particular variety was named in honor of Harman, a doctor from Nancy, who served as the personal physician to the King of Poland. The etching is further enhanced by the delicate presence of a dragonfly, adding an element of intrigue and life to the composition. Dragonflies are often associated with autumn and the changing of the seasons, making their inclusion in this image a fitting representation of the Chrysanthemum's status as a symbol of autumn and longevity. The meticulous attention to detail in the etching is evident in the intricate depiction of the Chrysanthemum's velvety petals and the delicate veining of the dragonfly's wings. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of artistry, bringing the image to life with vibrant hues and rich textures. This stunning work of art is a testament to the beauty and allure of nature, as well as the skill and artistry of the French botanical illustrators of the 18th century. The Chrysanthemum indicum with Dragonfly remains a captivating and enchanting image, evoking a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world.
