EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and intricacy of corn or maize, scientifically known as Zea mays. Created by Stanghi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring to life every aspect of this essential plant. From its lush green leaves to the golden kernels on its cob, each element is depicted with precision and artistry. This artwork was published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of his time, directed and drew this illustration under Terreni's expert engraving skills. Their collaboration resulted in a visually stunning representation that captures both the scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal of corn. Beyond its artistic value, this print also serves as a reminder of the significance of corn as a staple food crop worldwide. With its versatility and nutritional benefits, it has played an integral role in human diets for centuries. Whether displayed for educational purposes or admired for its sheer beauty, this print is a testament to the intersection between art and science. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when first created over two centuries ago.
