About this artwork

This is Plate 65 from The North American Sylva, showing the crab apple, Malus coronaria. A single branch carries leaves, a green fruit and soft pink blossoms, all hand-coloured. The caption below names the plant in both English and Latin, in the manner of a botanical study. Pancrace Bessa was a French natural history artist known for his botanical illustrations, and his careful, fine treatment of plants suits a subject like this. Blossom and fruit appear together on the same branch, so the plate shows the tree at more than one stage.

On your wall: The pink blossoms and fresh greens suit a kitchen, hallway, study or bedroom, and sit well alongside other botanical prints in a calm, naturally lit space.

About Pancrace Bessa

Pancrace Bessa was a French natural history artist, best known for his botanical illustrations. He studied under Gerard van Spaendonck and worked alongside Pierre-Joseph Redouté, whose influence can be felt in the detailed, delicate way Bessa treated his subjects. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salons between 1806 and 1831.
