EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the Purple Iris (Iris germanica), a beautiful and iconic flower from the Iridaceae family. The artwork was created between 1596 and 1610 by the renowned Flemish botanist and artist Anselmus de Boodt, in collaboration with Elias Verhulst. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural and scientific heritage of the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries. Anselmus de Boodt, a prominent figure in the natural history community, meticulously captured the intricate details of the iris, showcasing its vibrant purple color and elegant form. The artwork was executed using a combination of techniques, including brushwork, chalk, ink, and possibly deck paint, on paper. The lettering at the bottom of the print identifies the subject as Iris germanica and provides the name of the artist and the commissioner. Emperor Rudolf II, a passionate collector of natural history specimens and art, was known for his extensive library and cabinet of curiosities. This print would have been a prized addition to his collection, reflecting his interest in both the natural world and the artistic achievements of the time. Today, it is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its stunning beauty and historical significance. The depiction of the Purple Iris in this artwork serves as a reminder of the close relationship between art and science during the early modern period, as well as the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world. Whether appreciated for its aesthetic appeal or its botanical significance, this artwork remains a valuable and intriguing piece of European heritage.
