Rosa versicolor, Colorized Variegated Rose Engraving
This reproduction of Rosa versicolor—the famed variegated or striped rose—unfolds in vibrant hues of blended pink, crimson, and gold, with lush green foliage that enhances its striking bloom. The engraving captures not only the intricate petals of the rose but also the lively insects hovering nearby, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between flower and pollinator. The parchment background preserves the historic warmth of the original, while the colorized detail brings the scene to life for today’s viewer.
The engraving comes from the work of Johannes Goedaert (1617–1668), a Dutch painter and naturalist renowned for his contributions to early entomology and botanical art. Goedaert was among the first to present plants and insects together, portraying their interconnected lives with both scientific observation and artistic sensitivity. His illustrations revealed the mysteries of metamorphosis to a wide audience and continue to be admired for their accuracy and beauty.
This reproduction has been colorized with hues authentic to the species while keeping the integrity of the antique plate. Available exclusively through GoGardenNow, it forms part of a unique series that celebrates the artistry of early natural history.
