EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Spiny Bears Breech and Forget-Me-Nots, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis. Created by Basil Besler in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and botanical expertise. In this image, we are presented with three distinct plants. The first is Acanthus Spinosus, which served as a model for the ornate decoration found on top of classical columns in Roman and Baroque architecture. Its spiky leaves add an intriguing texture to the composition. Next, we encounter Scorpisides Mairtertia Dodonei - Myosotis, commonly known as true forget-me-nots. These native European flowers bring a sense of enchantment with their vibrant blue petals contrasting against maroon bracts. Their presence evokes feelings of nostalgia and remembrance. Lastly, we have Scorpisides Maitertia Dodonei - Myosotis or water forget-me-nots. These dainty blossoms add a touch of elegance to the scene with their delicate white flowers floating above lush green foliage. Besler's role as an apothecary in Nuremberg allowed him access to Prince Bishop's gardens near Eichstat where he could study these remarkable specimens firsthand. His dedication shines through in every intricate line etched into this engraving. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate nature's wonders
