Catalogue Note
A series of magnificent plates from this beautiful work. Christoph Jakob Trew's Hortus nitidissimis... floribus is a gallery of the most colourful and ravishing flowers that could be grown in European gardens, including tulips, hyacinths, ranunculi, and roses. On many of the plates, the opacity of the finely applied gouache makes the image appear as a painting rather than an engraved or etched plate. The plates in this volume are numbered 1 to 59.
