EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of tulips, spring snowflakes, and narcissus flowers from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis collection. Created by Basil Besler in the 17th century, this hand-colored engraving exemplifies the artistry of the German school during that era. Basil Besler, an esteemed apothecary in Nuremberg, was entrusted with tending to the gardens at Prince Bishop near Eichstat. His passion for plants is evident in this botanical illustration as he meticulously captures every intricate detail of these vibrant blooms. The first panel features Tulipa serotina polyanthos, a multiflowering tulip that enchants with its array of colors and delicate petals. Next is Leucojum vulvosum serotinum or spring snowflake, which gracefully adorns the second panel with its pure white blossoms resembling droplets of snowfall. Lastly, Narcissus medio purpureus minor takes center stage in the third panel. This enchanting variety of narcissus boasts smaller purple-hued flowers that exude elegance and charm. With its historical significance and artistic finesse, this print transports us back to a time when botanical illustrations were revered for their scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to nature's boundless beauty while honoring Besler's dedication to preserving these remarkable specimens for generations to come.
