EDITORS COMMENTS
Ornamental Corn (Zea mays), 1596-1610: A Botanical Marvel from the Workshop of Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst This exquisite print, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, showcases the intricate and captivating depiction of ornamental corn (Zea mays) 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 natural wonders of the Low Countries and the scientific curiosity of the time. The print is a stunning example of the intricate detail and artistry of the period, with the corn cobs meticulously rendered in ink and color on paper. The corn is presented against a red background, adding an element of contrast and visual interest. The unusual perspective and the inclusion of text and lettering further enhance the overall effect, making it a unique and fascinating piece of natural history. The corn is depicted in its ornamental form, with the kernels arranged in intricate patterns and designs. This was a popular trend during the Renaissance, with corn being used as a decorative element in gardens and as a symbol of fertility and abundance. The print also reflects the growing interest in botany and natural history during this period, as well as the importance of the Netherlands in the global trade of maize, which was introduced to Europe from the Americas in the late 16th century. This print is a valuable addition to any art, botanical, or natural history collection, and is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during the Renaissance period. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
