About the Item

Title: 'Billbergia liboniana – A Stunning Botanical Print by Hoola van Houten' This vibrant hand-colored botanical print depicts the Billbergia liboniana, an exotic bromeliad native to Brazil, with vivid red and blue tubular flowers cascading from green foliage. The illustration, created by Hoola van Houten, showcases meticulous detail and scientific precision, emphasizing the plant’s striking colors and unique form. The print is mounted in a deep green matting board that complements the plant’s natural tones, enhancing its visual appeal for display or archival preservation. The Billbergia liboniana is celebrated for its ornamental beauty and is a member of the Bromeliaceae family, known for thriving in tropical climates. It features long, slender blooms that transition from red to a deep indigo blue, a rare and eye-catching combination in botanical art. Hoola van Houten’s work reflects the golden age of botanical illustration, combining artistry with scientific exploration, particularly during the 19th century when Brazilian flora was a source of fascination for European naturalists. This print is in a very good condition, with clean paper, vibrant colors, and intact margins, making it a valuable addition to any botanical art collection or decorative display.
