EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Nymphaea caerulea, 1836" showcases the exquisite beauty of nature's aquatic masterpiece. Created by Pancrace Bessa in the early 19th century, this print is a testament to his skill as an artist and botanist. The Blue Egyptian water lily takes center stage in this artwork, its vibrant petals delicately unfurling against a backdrop of lush green leaves. This aquatic perennial hails from both northern and tropical Africa, enchanting all who lay eyes upon it with its ethereal allure. Bessa's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush; he masterfully captures the intricate veins that run through each petal and leaf. The roots of the Nymphaea caerulea are depicted with equal precision, anchoring the plant firmly in its watery habitat. Originally featured in "Flore des jardiniers, amateurs et manufacturiers" this engraving offers a glimpse into Bessa's extensive botanical knowledge. It serves as a visual celebration of not only this particular species but also the wonders found within gardens worldwide. Now part of The Stapleton Collection, this print continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation. Its timeless elegance reminds us of nature's boundless creativity and invites us to appreciate the intricate beauty that surrounds us daily. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us be reminded to cherish and protect our natural world for generations
