Stirpium imagines LXXV Pl.41 (1776)

This page presents "Stirpium imagines LXXV Pl.41" (1776), created by Baldassare Cattrani. About the period around 1776: In Japan, ukiyo-e woodblock printing flourished in the Edo period and made colour prints a popular and affordable art form. The eighteenth century began with the light, ornamental Rococo, especially in France, and moved towards the clarity and antique references of Neoclassicism by the end of the century. It is listed in the Plants & Animals collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Plants & Animals, a short history: Naturalists and artists often worked together, especially on voyages and in published surveys of flora and fauna. Images of plants and animals run from medieval herbals and bestiaries to the scientific illustration of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries.
