A spectacular early hand colored print of Bartolommeo Bimbi Pitt.I love the look of this print , just so Italian, so old world. The frame is period to the print ,it’s a little worn & a bit grungy, just the way we like to find them -The print is in fine condition & the frame is  Carved wood with Gesso showing through , some nicks & chips as well. This Print came from a very fine estate here in Rockland Maine, This picture is of Bartolommeo Bimbi at work painting , his famous Botanicals .A brief Biography of this artist :Bartolommeo Bimbi (1648-1729)Bimbi, a Florentine artist with little formal training, painted still life’s of remarkable scientific accuracy. He specialized in “portraits from nature,” that is, the portrayal not of persons but of flowers, plants, and animals. His canvases decorated the walls of many aristocratic villas. These large-scale scenes of monstrous and odd specimens of flowers, vegetables, and fruits, which were grown in gardens amid fierce competition for the largest or most unusual hybrid, are complete with inscriptions listing the name of each specimen and when and where it was gathered. Notwithstanding this scientific approach, Bimbi’s subjects are arranged in picturesque compositions against landscape backgrounds, piled high on costly carpets and drapery, or placed among antique statuary. His patron, Cosimo III (1642-1723), was a gloomy and eccentric ruler, but he had a decided interest in botany, perhaps spurred by his rigid vegetarian diet, and the arts flourished under his reign. Also fond of exotic animals, he constructed a large menagerie in the Boboli garden behind Palazzo Pitt.I in Florence.
