Blue Iris (Iris sibirica), 1596-1610: A Botanical Masterpiece by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst This exquisite 16th-17th century print depicts the Blue Iris (Iris sibirica), a captivating and rare flower from Siberia. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, the artwork was created by the renowned Flemish botanist Anselmus de Boodt and the skilled illustrator Elias Verhulst. The Blue Iris is rendered in meticulous detail, with the artists employing a combination of chalk, brush, ink, and color to bring its intricate features to life. The flower is depicted against a plain background, allowing its vibrant hues and delicate forms to take center stage. The artists' mastery of their mediums is evident in the precise lettering and the naturalistic rendering of the plant's texture and form. The Blue Iris was a prized addition to the imperial collection of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, who was known for his patronage of the arts and sciences. The print is a testament to the importance of botanical illustration during this period, as natural history and the study of plants played a significant role in European culture and scientific discovery. This stunning artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of botany, art, or the natural world. It is currently on exhibit at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
