EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of a Red-Yellow Day Lily and Groundsel, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis. Created by Basil Besler in 1613, this hand-colored engraving exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail that characterized German botanical art during the 17th century. The image features two distinct species: I Lilium fatuum, a day lily known for its striking red and yellow petals, which gracefully reach over one meter in height; and II Dorea Narbonensuim, commonly referred to as Groundsel. Besler's expertise as an apothecary is evident in his inclusion of these plants' medicinal properties. Besler was entrusted with overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, allowing him firsthand access to a vast array of flora. His passion for botany shines through in this exquisite engraving, capturing not only their visual allure but also their inherent significance within herbal medicine. It is worth noting that while these day lilies possess enchanting allure, they can be toxic to cats if ingested. This cautionary aspect adds another layer of intrigue to this artwork's narrative. Preserved within a private collection today, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and gain insight into nature's bountiful offerings through botanical exploration.
