EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning composition of Affodil (Asphodelus) and Ruig bell (Campanula trachelium), accompanied by a delicate crane fly. The image is part of the third album featuring intricate drawings of flowers and plants, commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the early 17th century. The print is meticulously detailed, with each flower species labeled in Latin. The Affodil, belonging to the Asphodelus genus, and the Ruig bell are both beautifully depicted, capturing their unique characteristics. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich botanical knowledge prevalent during this period. Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, an esteemed artist from that era, skillfully executed this piece using various mediums such as watercolor paint, deck paint, chalk, ink, pen on paper. His expertise shines through in every stroke and color choice. Accompanying the illustration are explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. These descriptions provide further insight into each plant's attributes and perhaps shed light on their historical significance or medicinal uses. Measuring approximately 241 mm in height and 150 mm in width, this print captures nature's beauty with remarkable precision. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where art merged seamlessly with scientific exploration—a true masterpiece that transcends time.
