EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Carolus Clusius, created by Jacques de Gheyn II in 1601, transports us back to the Baroque era in Flanders. The intricate engraving with stippling on cream laid paper showcases the skill and artistry of the Dutch artist.
Carolus Clusius, also known as Charles de Lecluse, was a renowned botanist and horticulturist whose work revolutionized the field of science during the 17th century. In this portrait, he is depicted with a sense of dignity and authority befitting his profession as a physician.
The oval shape of the frame adds to the symmetry and balance of the composition, drawing our eyes towards Clusius' figure. His nakedness symbolizes his dedication to uncovering truths in medicine and horticulture.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich heritage of art that has been passed down through generations in the Low Countries. The Latin text surrounding Clusius adds an air of mystery and intrigue to his portrait.
Overall, this print captures not only a moment in time but also a glimpse into the life and work of one of history's most influential figures. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific discovery that continues to inspire us today.
