Vintage Fig Poster - Capri Fig and Fig Wasp from Pomona Italiana (1817-1839) | Botanical Wall Art

Add a touch of botanical history and the fascinating interplay of nature to your interior with this beautiful vintage poster. The motif is an authentic reproduction of an illustration from the monumental work Pomona Italiana (1817-1839), created by the Italian count and botanist Giorgio Gallesio . This work is famous for its exquisite and scientifically accurate illustrations of fruits.

The poster shows a detailed representation of a Caprifig , a wild form of fig, which is essential for the pollination of edible figs. The illustration is a visual story about the complexity of nature. You see the fig leaves and the figs on the branch, but the most exciting element is the detailed cross-section of the fig fruit, revealing its internal structure. And last but not least: The small fig wasp (Blastophaga psenes), which is vital for the fig's reproduction, is also illustrated. The fig wasp lives in a symbiotic relationship with the fig plant, where the wasp pollinates the flowers inside the fruit, and in return lays its eggs there.

Combining scientific precision with artistic finesse, this poster is a conversation piece that will appeal to nature lovers, botany enthusiasts, and those seeking a unique and stylish interior design. It's perfect for the kitchen, dining room, or study.

The poster is printed on the highest quality paper, ensuring exceptional detail and color reproduction that will last for years. Personalize your home with a piece of authentic art history and scientific discovery.
