Created in the 17th century, this botanical illustration showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the German school during that era. Basil Besler, an apothecary in Nuremberg and curator of gardens for the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, dedicated his life to studying and documenting various plant species. His work not only served as a visual delight but also contributed significantly to scientific knowledge at that time.
