Blue turnip (1500)
The "Blue Beet" is a fascinating work of art that was created around the year 1500 by an unknown artist. This work is notable for its unusual depiction of a turnip in vibrant blue tones, which was considered very unconventional at the time.
Interesting fact: The depiction of the anthropomorphized root vegetable comes from a 15th century herb book that came from northern Italy, most likely the Veneto region. The use of blue in medieval and early modern art was often a sign of luxury and prestige, as blue dye, particularly that obtained from the woad plant or the more precious lapis lazuli, was very expensive. The fact that the artist depicted a turnip in this color could indicate a playful approach to the value system of his time or place the turnip in a higher, perhaps even royal context.

Print quality & material
We believe that art has the power to inspire the mind, tell stories and transform spaces.
That's why we put our hearts into every step of the printing process to ensure that every work we produce meets the highest artistic standards.
printing process
Our fine art giclée printers use 12 different ink tanks and produce museum-quality art prints. Thanks to specially pigmented inks, significantly more color nuances can be displayed than with conventional printing processes and other providers.
Print medium
We use extra-heavy (400g/m2) premium canvas made from 100% cotton. The high grammage and texture of the canvas ensures a particularly high-quality and almost three-dimensional appearance.
Environmentally friendly
We only use original and high-quality pigment ink which contains real pigment particles. This is UV-resistant, solvent-free, vegan and environmentally friendly.
UV & moisture resistant
Thanks to the UV resistance of our pigment inks, the prints do not fade or discolor and retain their color brilliance for up to 100 years.
