Step into the enchanting world of a German school in the 17th century, where nature's vibrant colors and delicate fragrances filled the air. Basil Besler, a renowned botanist and artist, captured this mesmerizing beauty in his masterpiece, "Hortus Eystettensis. " In this captivating collection of botanical illustrations, you'll find an array of exquisite flowers that adorned gardens during that era. The pages come alive with vivid depictions of Red Carnation and Lavender, their petals delicately intertwined like whispers from a bygone era. Besler's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he immortalizes African Marigold and French Marigolds on paper. Their golden hues radiate warmth while Thorn Apple, Germander, and Purple Toadflax add a touch of whimsy to the composition. As you turn each page, Autumn Snowflake and Meadow Saffrons greet your gaze with their ethereal charm. These ephemeral beauties remind us of nature's ever-changing seasons. The Colutea Tree stands tall amidst Cytisus Varieties; their branches intertwine like old friends sharing secrets. Horseweed/Butterweed/Fleabane dances alongside European Michaelmas Daisies—a celebration of wildflowers thriving harmoniously. Marsh Marigold shines bright beside March Violet and Spring Gentian—symbols of resilience even in the harshest conditions. Hippoglossum gracefully sways next to Cowslip and Sanicle/Snakeroot—an ode to Mother Earth's healing powers. Besler pays homage to the majestic Tulip through various varieties showcased within his work. Each petal tells its own story—a testament to human fascination with these captivating blooms. Madonna Lily exudes purity while Bulbils sprout new life beneath Orange Lily's watchful eye. Late-Blooming Blackstoria adds mystery to this floral symphony orchestrated by Hortus Eystettensis.
