EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning botanical illustration titled "Red-Yellow Day Lily and Groundsel" from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Published in the 17th century, this hand-colored engraving is a true masterpiece of the German school of art. The vibrant colors of the day lily immediately catch the eye, with its fiery red petals gracefully blending into shades of yellow. Standing tall at over one meter, this majestic flower exudes elegance and beauty. Alongside it, we find groundsel (Senecio), adding a touch of greenery to the composition. Besler's expertise as an apothecary in Nuremberg shines through his meticulous attention to detail in depicting these plants. Notably, he was entrusted with overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstatt, further emphasizing his deep knowledge and passion for botany. While admiring this historical gem, it is worth noting that despite its enchanting appearance, caution must be exercised around cats as both day lilies and groundsel are toxic to them. This remarkable piece belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature throughout history. Its inclusion in Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance within botanical studies during that era.
