EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Leiden Botanic Garden, an engraving from the 17th century. The image takes us back in time to the earliest scientific garden in Western Europe, founded in 1590 at the University of Leiden. Designed by Carolus Clusius, who is credited with introducing tulips to Western gardening, this walled garden holds a significant place in botanical history. From a bird's eye view perspective, we can admire the meticulous layout of beds and pathways that make up this enchanting horticultural haven. Visitors stroll through the arched arcade, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The design reflects both the beauty and functionality of this sixteenth-century masterpiece. The print captures not only the physical features but also evokes a sense of wonderment that must have been experienced by those who wandered through its gates centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to explore and understand nature. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this Dutch School engraving reminds us of our rich botanical heritage while offering a glimpse into an era long gone. With its intricate details and historical significance, it stands as a timeless piece of art that continues to inspire awe for generations to come.
