EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Melissa, Paeony and Odontoglossum" showcases a stunning hand-colored engraving from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis collection. Created by Basil Besler in the early 17th century, this masterpiece captures the delicate beauty of nature's wonders. In this enchanting composition, we are introduced to three exquisite botanical specimens. The first is Paeonia flore pleni incarnato, a peony with its lush petals painted in shades of vibrant red. Next is Ophisglossum, commonly known as adder's tongue fern, displaying its elegant fronds that gracefully unfurl like a serpent's tongue. Lastly, we encounter Melissa Fuschsy or lemon balm herb with its dainty white flowers exuding an aura of tranquility. Besler's expertise as an apothecary shines through in his meticulous attention to detail and precision. As he was entrusted with overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, he had firsthand experience cultivating these botanical treasures. The hand coloring adds depth and dimension to each element within this enchanting scene. The rich blues and whites contrast beautifully against the fiery reds and verdant greens present throughout the image. This extraordinary print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection serves as a testament to both Besler's artistic talent and his dedication to documenting nature's splendor for generations to come. It invites us into a world where artistry meets horticulture—a realm where every
