EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of the Day cuckoo flower (Silene dioica) and medlar (Mespilus germanica). The image, numbered 10 on a sheet hand-numbered 10, is part of Anselmi Boetii de Boot I. C. Brugensis & Rodolphi II's remarkable collection titled "Imp. Novel. medici a cubiculis Florum, Herbarum, ac fructuum selectiorum icones, & vires pleraeque hactenus ignotae". This album contains sheets and plates from De Boodts herbarium dating back to 1640. The twelfth of twelve albums commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600, this particular piece captures the essence of nature's wonders during that era. The anonymous artist skillfully used paper, ink, watercolor paint, and engraving techniques to bring these botanical specimens to life. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this print highlight the unique characteristics of both the Day cuckoo flower and medlar. It serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity present during that time period. While not intended for commercial use or associated with any specific company, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the artistry involved in documenting flora from centuries past. It invites us into a world where scientific exploration intersected with artistic expression—a true treasure for enthusiasts of botany and historical artwork alike.
