This vibrant print showcases a Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) in all its glory. The image captures a branch adorned with lush green leaves and several fruits, displaying the natural beauty of this beloved summer treat. Numbered at the top right as 161, the Latin name of the fruit accompanies it, adding an educational touch to the artwork. Part of the second album featuring drawings of flowers and plants, this print is one of twelve albums commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610, this exquisite piece combines various artistic techniques such as watercolor paint, ink, chalk, and pen on paper. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate patterns on each fruit's skin to the delicate veins running through the leaves. This masterpiece not only celebrates nature's bounty but also serves as a historical record of botanical knowledge during that era. Accompanied by explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French languages further enriches our understanding of this artwork. Whether displayed in a gallery or adorning your own walls at home, this print invites you to appreciate both artistry and horticultural wonders simultaneously.
