Limon racemoso dal Broco. Palazzo del N.H.Marcello al Botegin.

Fabulous Baroque engraving of citrus, from Johann Christoph Volckamer’s, Nuernbergische Hesperides. In Greek mythology, the Hesperides were nymphs who tended a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world and said to be the daughters of Hesperus. Volckamer was the son of a physician and a wealthy merchant with an interest in exotic citrus.
