EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print, titled "Cabbage (Brassica oleracea)" by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of one of the oldest cultivated vegetables, the humble cabbage. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece was created between 1596 and 1610, during the height of the Netherlands' artistic and scientific revolution. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases a cabbage plant in all its glory, with its vibrant green leaves and tightly packed heads. The artists, Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst, employed a combination of chalk, color, and ink to bring the cabbage to life, capturing its textured surface and intricate veining. The background is adorned with delicate flowers, adding to the overall beauty and harmony of the scene. The cabbage was a staple vegetable in European diets during this period, and its cultivation was an essential aspect of daily life. This print not only serves as a botanical record but also as a cultural and historical artifact, reflecting the importance of natural history and scientific exploration during the early modern era. The print is a testament to the artistic and scientific prowess of the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries, a time when the Low Countries were at the forefront of European culture and knowledge. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a renowned art and history museum, is home to this precious piece of heritage, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the natural world and the artistic vision of its creators.
