EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of small pimpernel (Sanguisorba minor) and large snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus). The image is part of a hand-numbered sheet, labeled as number 8, from an album dating back to 1640. This particular album forms one of twelve collections commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the early 17th century. The exquisite watercolor painting captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of these botanical wonders. Small pimpernel's dainty pink flowers stand gracefully alongside large snapdragon's bold purple blooms. Both species are depicted with utmost precision, showcasing their unique characteristics. Created by an anonymous artist between 1604 and 1632, this artwork is a testament to the rich history of natural illustration during that era. The combination of paper, ink, watercolor paint, and engraving techniques adds depth and texture to the composition. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece as part of its extensive archive featuring animals, birds, and plants known around 1600. While not intended for commercial use or associated with any specific company, this photograph print offers viewers a glimpse into nature's timeless allure through artistry that transcends time.
