EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Scarlet Sage, Salvia splendens (La Sauge à fleurs couleur d'Ecarlatte)" is a stunning representation of the vibrant and alluring Scarlet Sage flower, taken from the esteemed collection of Pierre Joseph Buchoz, "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. The intricate details of the etching capture the essence of the Scarlet Sage in all its splendor, with its rich, scarlet-red blossoms and lush, green foliage. The delicate beauty of the Scarlet Sage is further accentuated by the presence of a moth and a butterfly, gracefully perched on the flower, adding an element of natural wonder and enchantment to the scene. The hand-coloring technique used in this etching adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making the flowers appear even more lifelike and captivating. The Scarlet Sage, also known as Salvia splendens, is a popular ornamental plant that is cultivated in gardens both in Europe and China for its striking appearance and fragrant flowers. The plant belongs to the mint family and is known for its tall spikes of bright red, tubular flowers that bloom in late spring and summer. The Scarlet Sage is not only a visual delight but also attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, making it an essential addition to any garden. This beautiful etching not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the past but also highlights the timeless beauty and allure of the Scarlet Sage, a flower that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
