EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print showcases Bear's Garlic (Allium ursinum), meticulously depicted 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 natural history and scientific exploration of the time. Anselmus de Boodt, a prominent figure in the Low Countries, was known for his extensive knowledge of botany and his ability to beautifully illustrate various plant species. In this illustration, he captures the essence of Bear's Garlic, with its broad, flat leaves and distinctive umbel of white flowers. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricately drawn bulb, veins of the leaves, and the delicate petals of the flowers. The print is a stunning example of the art and science of the time, combining the beauty of nature with the precision of illustration. The use of chalk, ink, and brush creates a vivid and lifelike depiction, while the lettering adds a scholarly touch. The scene is further enhanced by the deck paint background, reminiscent of Delft or South Holland in the Netherlands. Emperor Rudolf II, a patron of the arts and sciences, was known for his extensive collection of natural history specimens and illustrations. This Bear's Garlic print is a valuable addition to his collection, showcasing the natural world and the scientific curiosity of the era. Today, it is a prized possession of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
