The Globe Artichoke. A Perfect Recreation™ of the original watercolor and gouache on paper by Jacques LeMoyne de Morgues, c. 1570. 5” x 7”.
The LeMoyne Globe Artichoke is a stunning marriage of pristine simplicity and richly observed detail -- one of eighty original watercolors that comprise what may be the most important and rare florilegium (a compendium of flower paintings by a single artist) of the 16th century. More than four hundred years after its execution, this painting retains the color and luminosity of a contemporary work. The extraordinary detail of the artichoke – the texture and browning at the tips of the scales – creates an almost three-dimensional impression. Our Perfect Recreation™ captures all of these qualities as well as the feeling of the now antique paper originally prepared as vellum. "Gorgeous botanical prints in exquisite detail".
