Sedum Maius Arborescens Radicabile

C. 1696

This piece is a black and white etching engraving of a plant species from the Netherland region.

Abraham Munting (1626-1683) was the son of Henricus Munting, Dutch botanist, and a renowned botanical artist. Munting's best known work, Naawkeurige Beschryving Der Aardgewassen was published in 1696 after his death. Later, Waare Oeffening de Planten, was a recreated as an improved version of Munting earlier editions. His work was greatly enjoyed and beloved due to being unique and going beyond the traditional botanical illustrations of its era. In his drawings, plant species were depicted against a backgrounds of classic or pastoral landscapes, often floating in midair with little regard for perspective and relative sizes. Once Abraham Munting passed in 1683, his son Albert Munting took over the running of Hortus Botanicus Groninganus.

Condition: Overall the art piece is in good condition. Toning as expected due to age. Foxing and staining throughout the art piece. Dog-ear fold on the top left side of the etching. Acidic matting along the top, bottom, and right side of the etching. Small stains throughout the etching. Creasing on all corners of the etching. Accretions on the top of the etching due to grime smudges. Overall paper is healthy and colors are vibrant. 

Dimensions: 17 1/2" x 11"
