EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, titled "Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus)" by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst, dates back to the late 16th or early 17th century. Commissioned by the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece is a testament to the natural wonders of the botanical world during the age of discovery. Anselmus de Boodt, a renowned Flemish botanist, and Elias Verhulst, a skilled draftsman, collaborated on this illustration of the vibrant Nasturtium flower. The image is rendered in intricate detail, with the flower depicted in full bloom against a plain background, allowing its beauty to take center stage. The Nasturtium, also known as Tropaeolum majus, is a native of South America and was introduced to Europe in the late 16th century. The flower's bright, fiery hues and unique shape captivated the European elite, leading to its widespread cultivation and admiration. This print is a prime example of the intersection of art and science during the Netherlands' Golden Age. The naturalistic depiction of the Nasturtium reflects the growing interest in botany and natural history, as well as the refined aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The image is executed in chalk, ink, and color on paper, with meticulous lettering identifying the plant and its name in Latin. The use of deck paint adds depth and texture to the illustration, making the Nasturtium appear as if it could bloom at any moment. This rare and precious print is a valuable addition to any art or botanical collection and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries.
