EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving captures the delicate beauty of Hyacinths and an Autumn Crocus, as depicted in Hortus Eystettensis. Created by Basil Besler in 1613, this botanical print showcases his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color. The image features four different varieties of Hyacinthus Orientalis and a Crocus Fundo Vernus. The first hyacinth displays a mesmerizing combination of violet hues with white lines, while the second boasts a double-flowered form. The third hyacinth showcases reflexed petals in a deep purple shade. Lastly, the crocus blooms with its white petals tinged with violet. Besler's passion for plants is evident in this artwork, which highlights his role as both an apothecary and head gardener for the Prince Bishop near Eichstat. It is believed that these particular hyacinths were brought to Europe from the Middle East, adding to their allure. This enchanting composition not only serves as a visual delight but also holds great scientific value. It contributes to our understanding of botany and natural history during the 17th century.
