EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-century print showcases the enchanting Blue-yellow Iris (Iris sibirica), a captivating flower that once graced the gardens of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. Commissioned by the emperor himself, this masterpiece was created by the brilliant minds of Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst, two renowned Netherlandish artists of the time. Anselmus de Boodt, a Flemish botanist and artist, meticulously depicted the Iris sibirica in all its glory, capturing its intricate details with remarkable precision. He employed a range of artistic techniques, including brushwork, chalk, ink, and even deck paint, to bring the flower to life on paper. His naturalistic approach to botanical illustration was groundbreaking, setting a new standard for the representation of plants in art. Elias Verhulst, a skilled engraver, collaborated with Anselmus de Boodt to produce this stunning print. His masterful engraving techniques brought the artist's intricate depiction to a wider audience, allowing people from all walks of life to appreciate the beauty of this rare and exotic flower. The Blue-yellow Iris, also known as the Siberian Iris, was a popular subject among naturalists and collectors during the 16th and 17th centuries. Its vibrant colors and unique shape made it a prized addition to any botanical collection. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Low Countries and the scientific curiosity that drove the exploration and documentation of the natural world during this period. The intricate lettering and elegant design elements that accompany the image further enhance its beauty and historical significance, making it a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, botany, or the natural world.
