EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Castor Oil Plant (Ricinus communis), a member of the Euphorbiaceae family. Painted between 1770 and 1781 by Giovanni Antonio Bottione, this botanical illustration is part of the renowned Herbal collection in Iconographia Taurinensis. The Castor Oil Plant, native to tropical regions, is depicted here as a suffruticose herbaceous plant suitable for both flower beds and oil extraction. Its vibrant green leaves and sturdy stem are meticulously captured in delicate brushstrokes, while its distinctive berries add an intriguing touch to the composition. Set against a pristine white background, this vertical artwork effortlessly transports us back to the 18th century when scientific exploration merged with artistic expression. Bottione's attention to detail brings forth not only the visual allure but also highlights the significance of this plant within biology and herbal medicine. With no people present in this painting, our focus remains solely on nature's marvels. The Castor Oil Plant takes center stage as it stands tall and proud, inviting us into its world of wonder. This watercolor masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistry and scientific observation—an ode to botany that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed
