EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 59: Seven Assorted Insects, created by Joris Hoefnagel around 1575/1580, is a stunning and intricately detailed watercolor and gouache drawing on vellum. This masterpiece, now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Hoefnagel's exceptional talent as a natural historian and artist of the Sixteenth Century. The central focus of the composition is a crane fly (Tipula oleracea), also known as a cranefly, perched atop a hawthorn shield bug (Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale). Surrounding these two insects are an assortment of other intriguing species: a hover fly (Volucella inanis), a shield bug (Cercopis vulnerata), and four unidentified insects. Each insect is depicted with remarkable accuracy, revealing Hoefnagel's keen observation skills and deep understanding of their natural forms. The drawing is framed by an ornate oval border in gold, adding an elegant and decorative touch to the composition. Hoefnagel's use of color and shading enhances the three-dimensional appearance of the insects, bringing them to life on the page. This exquisite work of art, a testament to Hoefnagel's European heritage, is a valuable addition to any art or natural history collection. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate details of insects that may have gone unnoticed during the Sixteenth Century. The National Gallery of Art is proud to preserve and display this remarkable work for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
