About the Item
IDE VAS ORDINATIS FLORIBUS CONSPICVVM
Giovanni Baptista Ferrari (1584 - 1655) - Fine Quarto engraving with land colour 1638
Issued in the 1638 edition of Ferrari's spectacular Flora ouero cultura di fiori.
Measures: 16 x 23.3 cm
Later hand colour.
Engraved by Anna Maria Vaiani (or Anna Maria Vaiana), an Italian engraver.
Anna Maria Vaiani was born in Florence in 1604. Her father Alessandro Vaiani was an artist and was brought up and worked in Rome. In 1647 she married Jacques Courtois, another artist, but it was not a success. Vaiani specialized in botanical engravings, although her first recorded work was the completion of her father's paintings in the Pope's Capella Segreta in Rome. Vaiani exchanged letters with Galileo Galilei from 1630 to 1638. She acquired Cardinal Francesco Barberini as her patron through Galileo's influence and was one of the artists who contributed copper-plate etchings in 1633 to illustrate Giovanni Battista Ferrari’s De florum cultura that was based on Barberini's botanic garden.
Reference: Nissen BBI 620; Pritzel 2877.
A very fine engraving from the first edition in Italian of the earliest treatise on the contemporary flower garden, a masterpiece of baroque copper engraving sponsored by the Barbarini family. The four books describe innovations in garden techniques, choice of site and preparation, and selected species for planting with latest methods. Ferrari details the use of flowers in arrangement, both in the soil and as artistic devices; knowing their various characteristics and qualities he describes how best to enjoy each kind.

- 1780 Floral Spring Bouquet, Louis Tessier, Folio, Tulip, Poeny, Hand ColouredLocated in Norwich, GBFloral Bouquet engraved after Louis Tessier for "Livre de Corbeilles et Vases de Fleurs" Engraved by Jean-Jacques Avril Spring Bouquet with Ranunculus and Tulip. Measures: 36.4 x 27.7 cm "Avril l'aine, Sculp", in text, lower right; "L. Tessier, del" lower right. The six plates for "Livre de Corbeilles et Vases de Fleurs" (A Book of Baskets and Vases of Flowers) were engraved by J.J. Avril after paintings by Louis Tessier. The plates were hand colored and the coloring varies from impression to impression. This impression is a beautiful example of Tessier's eye for design, with his elegant use of space and the vivid color combinations by Avril. Despite the formality of the still life, the fun, haphazard arrangement of these fantastic flowers makes for a charming yet highly stylized image. Jean Jaacques Avril (the elder) was born in Paris in 1744 and studied architecture but became a student of engraver Jan Georges...Category
