Pera Limone - Pear

by Giorgio Gallesio

Introduce an element of Italian heritage of the 19th century in your environment. Expertly rescued from the pages of Giorgio Gallesio's remarkable Pomona Italiana (1817-1839)—the best scientific encyclopedia devoted to the native fruits of Italy—the amazing antique botanical print represents the precious and unique Pera Limone (Lemon Pear).

In addition to a simple image, this vintage piece presents the hyper-realistic appearance of a branch of a pear tree with fresh and vivid leaves as well as the yellow color of ripening Pyrus Limonia. Pay attention to the bottom of the plate, and you will see detailed cross-sections demonstrating the inside of the fruit and its seeds. The combination of scrupulous scientific work and fine watercolor painting creates a unique aura of luxuriousness in any interior.

This digitally remastered masterpiece can be successfully hung in a kitchen, dining room or gallery.
