The "Covered Ornamental Citrus Garden from Hesperides" is a notable illustration by Filippo Gagliardi, which appears in the work "Hesperides sive de Malorum Aureorum cultura et usu" by Giovanni Battista Ferrari, published in 1646. This work is a seminal treatise on the cultivation and use of citrus fruits, with a particular focus on the mythological and symbolic significance of the golden apples of the Hesperides in classical antiquity. Gagliardi's illustration is significant for its detailed depiction of a baroque-style indoor citrus garden, showcasing the opulence and botanical curiosity of the 17th century.

The illustration is a testament to the period's fascination with botany and the desire to cultivate exotic plants in controlled environments, such as orangeries and greenhouses, which were becoming popular among the European elite. Gagliardi's work captures the intersection of art, science, and horticulture during the Baroque era, reflecting the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the time.

Giovanni Battista Ferrari (1584–1655) was a Jesuit priest, scholar, and botanist, and his "Hesperides" is considered one of the most important botanical works of the 17th century. Filippo Gagliardi (1606–1659) was an Italian painter and etcher known for his architectural views and perspective. The collaboration between Ferrari and Gagliardi in the creation of the "Hesperides" resulted in a richly illustrated volume that combined rigorous scientific observation with the artistic elegance of the period.

The "Covered Ornamental Citrus Garden from Hesperides" not only serves as a historical record of horticultural practices but also as a piece of art that reflects the aesthetic and intellectual values of its time. It remains an important work for scholars interested in the history of botany, garden design, and Baroque art.
