Camellia Giardino Horticole Japonica Linden Stroobant Thea
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the stunning beauty of a crimson and white Camellia japonica bloom, as it gracefully unfurls in the tranquil setting of Giardino Santarelli. The illustration, a masterpiece of botanical art, was created by the skilled hand of Belgian artist P. Stroobant and meticulously lithographed by his brother L. Stroobant in the 1850s. The image was published as part of Jean Linden's L'Illustration Horticole, a renowned botanical publication of the time. The crimson and white Camellia japonica, also known as Thea japonica, is a beloved and iconic flower in the world of horticulture. Originating in East Asia, this evergreen shrub is renowned for its elegant, glossy leaves and its exquisite, velvety blooms. The crimson and white variety, with its rich, deep red petals and pristine white edges, is particularly prized for its allure and beauty. Giardino Santarelli, the setting for this bloom, was a renowned botanical garden located in Naples, Italy. Established in the late 18th century, the garden was renowned for its diverse collection of exotic plants and trees, making it a popular destination for botanists, horticulturists, and enthusiasts from around the world. This stunning print not only captures the essence of the crimson and white Camellia japonica, but also transports us back in time to the lush, verdant gardens of Giardino Santarelli. A true testament to the artistry and dedication of the Stroobant brothers and Jean Linden, this print remains a breathtaking example of botanical illustration and a window into the rich history of horticulture.
