EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, titled "Sheldonian Theatre" is an exquisite illustration taken from Paulo Boccone's Icones et descriptiones rariorum plantarum Siciliae, Melitae, Galliae et Italiae, published in 1674. The Sheldonian Theatre, depicted in the print, is a stunning architectural masterpiece located in Oxford, England. Commissioned by the renowned scholar and Chancellor of Oxford University, the Earl of Danby, the theatre was designed by the famous architect Christopher Wren and completed in 1668. The engraving beautifully captures the grandeur of the theatre, with its impressive dome and intricate details. The theatre was built as a venue for musical and theatrical performances, and its acoustics were renowned for being exceptional. The print also showcases the lush greenery surrounding the theatre, adding to the serene and picturesque scene. Paulo Boccone, an accomplished botanist and illustrator, created this illustration as part of a larger work, which documented rare plants from Sicily, Malta, Gallia, and Italy. The Sheldonian Theatre was likely included as a visual representation of the cultural and intellectual hub of Oxford University, where Boccone's work was likely presented and discussed. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and rich history of the Sheldonian Theatre and the scholarly community of Oxford University during the 17th century. Its intricate details and stunning visuals continue to captivate viewers and transport them back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the intellectual pursuits of a bygone era.
