The Smooth Leaved Green Antigua Pine
Artists/Makers: Various
Date: 1807
Behold the grandeur of botanic illustration with "The Smooth Leaved Green Antigua Pine," a life-size colour-printed piece from the esteemed "Pomona Britannica" series, which marked the zenith of George Brookshaw's illustrious career. Though not currently on display, this remarkable work from 1807 embodies the fusion of art and horticulture during the turn of the 19th century in Britain.
"The Smooth Leaved Green Antigua Pine" stands as a celebration of tropical and native fruits, depicted with such precision and vitality that they seem ready for harvest. Brookshaw, who began his journey as a notable painter and japanner of luxury furniture, transitioned into a botanical draftsman of remarkable skill, eventually teaching and publishing seminal instructional manuals.
This series, which ran from 1804 to 1812, features specimens cultivated in the royal and noble gardens of Hampton Court, Kensington Palace, and the Prince of Wales's estate at Blackheath. Brookshaw's plates are distinguished by their aesthetic finesse, often setting the luscious fruits against dark backgrounds to enhance their natural hues, achieved through the meticulous techniques of stipple engraving and aquatint.
"The Smooth Leaved Green Antigua Pine" is not just an illustration but a historical document showcasing the horticultural excellence and artistic endeavours near London during a period rich with botanical exploration. It is an exquisite example of Brookshaw's ability to blend scientific accuracy with artistic beauty, making it a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts of botanical art and Georgian-era illustrations
