“Belladonna” Atropa belladonna – in use medically since ancient times, this solanaceous herb is among the most dangerous poisonous plants in Europe and was named after Atropos (inevitable, from greek mythology). In Renaissance Italy the pupil-dilating effects of the poison Hyoscyamin led to the name "bella donna" (Italian: "beautiful woman"). Half plant and half woman the sculpture is a symbol of duality, tension and beauty in life. This 2 metres high sculpture is the work of over 2000 hours and made mainly from Murano glass. The artist Irene Magdalena Orecher concieved perfectly the colours reflecting the symbolic drama of life, from the calm blue-green through the ominous purple to the vibrant red and vivid bright yellow. Shining stainless steel edging underscores the shape of the sculpture, combining both ancient and contemporary art forms. The metal works were created in cooperation with Berndt Schweizer, Master Craftsman.
