EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-century print, titled "Amaryllis (Hippeastrum)" by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst, showcases the captivating beauty of the Amaryllis flower, specifically the dwarf nerine or Amaryllis humilis. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece is a testament to the advanced botanical knowledge and artistic skills of the time. The image, created between 1596 and 1610, is a meticulous depiction of the Amaryllis, with its vibrant red and white petals unfurling around a central column of yellow stamen. The artists, Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst, employed various techniques such as brush, chalk, ink, and color to bring the flower to life on paper. The background is adorned with intricate lettering and scenes from the Low Countries, further emphasizing the cultural significance of this botanical discovery. Emperor Rudolf II, a patron of the arts and sciences, was known for his extensive collection of natural history specimens and artistic masterpieces. This print is believed to have been part of his personal collection, showcasing his interest in both the natural world and the artistic prowess of the time. The Amaryllis, native to South America, was a relatively new discovery in Europe during the 16th century. Its arrival sparked fascination and curiosity, leading to numerous botanical illustrations and studies. This print by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst is a prime example of the intricate and detailed botanical illustrations that emerged during this period. Today, this historic print is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the rich artistic and botanical heritage of the Netherlands and Europe.
