EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-century print, titled "Narcis (Narcissus), Golden Primrose (Primula veris), and Tagetes (African Marigold)" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Flemish botanist and artist Anselmus de Boodt and his assistant Elias Verhulst. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this artwork is a testament to the natural wonders of the Low Countries, showcasing three distinct flowers in their intricate detail. Anselmus de Boodt, a prominent figure in the world of natural history, meticulously documented various plants and animals in his extensive works. Here, he captures the essence of Narcissus, the mythological figure who fell in love with his own reflection, surrounded by the enchanting beauty of a golden primrose and an African marigold. The golden primrose, also known as cowslip, is depicted with its delicate, yellow blossoms and vibrant green leaves. The African marigold, a striking contrast, boasts bright orange and red petals, adding a burst of color to the scene. The intricate brushwork and chalk detailing bring these flowers to life, capturing their unique textures and forms. Elias Verhulst, a talented artist in his own right, contributed his expertise to the lettering and overall composition of the print. The title and other descriptive text are elegantly written, adding to the overall beauty and sophistication of the artwork. This botanical illustration is a prime example of the natural history and scientific exploration that flourished during the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. It is a treasure in the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, botany, and the natural world.
