Botanical Print Spanish Bon Chrétien Pear - A3 size, wooden frame

← Discover the complete history of this illustration

This spectacular pear, adorned with vermilion red and black dots, garnered the admiration and controversy of royal pomologists. Large and elegantly pyramidal, it embodied the passionate debates at Louis XIV's table.

Harvested between November and January, its crisp flesh could be either dry and hard or tender and sweet depending on the soil — excellent in compote or eaten raw when conditions permitted.

This original plate from the Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835) combines scientific rigor with a rare artistic sensibility, a testament to the golden age of botanical illustration.
