Pesca Damnaschina Duracina - Peach

by Giorgio Gallesio

Dive into the era of botanical illustration through this magnificent reproduction of Giorgio Gallesio’s painting named “Pesca Damnaschina Duracina” (Peach). First painted between 1817 and 1839, the print is part of a magnificent collection of the artist’s famous masterpiece known as Pomona Italiana. With such amazing accuracy, this fine aquatint painting represents an old-world beauty of the unique Italian heirloom peach.

Having been professionally restored, the print shows all details of the fruit – its smooth skin, foliage, and flowers. The scientific work of Giorgio Gallesio in pomology (the science of fruits) was so precise that it was later used by Charles Darwin as a reference. The print comes in a museum-grade archival quality paper suitable for hanging on the walls of the kitchen, dining room, or a fine gallery wall.
