Marigold (Calendula), 1596-1610: A Botanical Masterpiece by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst This stunning botanical illustration, titled "Marigold (Calendula)," dates back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II of the Holy Roman Empire, the artwork was created by the renowned Flemish botanist and artist Anselmus de Boodt, in collaboration with Elias Verhulst. The illustration showcases the vibrant Marigold (Calendula) in exquisite detail. Anselmus de Boodt, a leading figure in the study of natural history during the Low Countries, meticulously captured the intricacies of the Marigold's petals, leaves, and stem using a combination of chalk, brush, and ink. His mastery of the medium is evident in the delicate shading and precise lettering that adorns the scene. Elias Verhulst, a skilled artist in his own right, contributed to the illustration by adding the rich, vibrant colors using deck paint. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful and accurate representation of the Marigold, which was also known as Tagetes in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Marigold was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during this period due to its medicinal and ornamental properties. This illustration, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is a testament to the scientific and artistic advancements of the time. It can be found in various art centers, galleries, and museums, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the natural world and the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands and Europe.
