EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moving trees into the garden for summer, from De Nederlandze Hesperides" takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the meticulous process of creating lush gardens. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers carefully transferring potted citrus trees into a merchant's garden. The scene exudes an atmosphere of industriousness and dedication as each worker focuses on their task at hand. With pots in hand, they delicately lift and transport these precious plants, ensuring their safe relocation. The attention to detail is evident not only in the workers' actions but also in the composition itself. Jan Commelin's engraving beautifully captures this moment, emphasizing both the physical labor involved and the significance of these imported fruit trees and plants. It is fascinating to imagine how this merchant sought out rare and tender specimens from distant lands to create his own personal oasis. Based on G. B. Ferrari's treatise from 1646, De Nederlandze Hesperides serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's beauty. This particular image reminds us that gardening has always been an art form requiring skillful hands and unwavering passion. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our own connection with nature and its ability to inspire us across centuries.
