Step back in time to 1613, a year of captivating engravings and botanical wonders. Basilius Besler's Florilegium takes us on a visual journey through nature's abundant offerings. In 'The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark, ' we witness the harmonious gathering of creatures, an awe-inspiring scene captured with meticulous detail. Meanwhile, gourd, taro, and pumpkin grace another engraving from this collection, showcasing the diversity within the Cucurbitaceae family. Variegated Spanish iris and wild leek dance together in vibrant hues in yet another masterpiece from Besler's Florilegium. These delicate blooms remind us of nature's artistry and its ability to create breathtaking combinations. Lily-of-the-valley steals our hearts with its enchanting fragrance and delicate beauty. St. Bruno's lily joins forces with pink lily-of-the-valley in an exquisite engraving that transports us to a world filled with elegance and grace. Citron, Seville orange, and orange come alive on paper as Besler immortalizes these citrus fruits for eternity. Their vibrant colors beckon us closer while their flavors tantalize our taste buds. Papaver reveals itself in two mesmerizing varieties - a testament to the endless possibilities found within nature's palette. And who can resist the allure of the tomato? This humble fruit shines brightly under Besler's skilled hand. Artichoke heads take center stage as their intricate patterns are brought to life through detailed engravings. Each leaf seems to whisper tales of culinary delights waiting to be discovered. Agave americana stands tall in all its glory; its majestic presence commands attention as it graces one page after another. A true symbol of resilience and strength captured forever by Basilius Besler himself. Carnation and lavender unite their fragrances in perfect harmony; their petals intertwine like lovers embracing under a moonlit sky.
