EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured woodcut of Iris Germanica, created by the talented artist Leonhard Fuchs in 1542. The artwork measures 36.2x24 cm and is part of a private collection. Fuchs' masterpiece can be found in his renowned botanical book "De historia stirpium commentarii insignes" which was published in Basel by Michael Isingrin. The image portrays the exquisite beauty of the German iris, with its vibrant purple petals delicately captured through Fuchs' intricate hand tinting technique. Set against a pristine white background, the flower stands out as a symbol of elegance and grace. Dating back to the mid-16th century, this woodcut represents an important milestone in both art and biology. It exemplifies Fuchs' skill as an illustrator and his contribution to botany during that era. The close-up view allows us to appreciate every detail of this flowering plant, from its leafy green stems to its enchanting violet hues. The hand-colouring adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing our connection with nature's wonders. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness European artistry at its finest. This print serves as a testament to Fuchs' talent as a German artist while highlighting the significance of botanical illustrations in understanding plants throughout history.
