EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Narcissus, Tulip, and Summer Snowflake flowers from Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to Besler's expertise as both an apothecary and gardener. The image features three distinct species: I Narcissus iuncifolius polyanthos albus (known as paper white narcissus), II Lilio Narcissus Bononiensis (commonly referred to as lodden lily), and III Leucojum Bulbosum minus (also known as wild tulip). Each flower exudes its unique charm, capturing the essence of springtime. Besler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of colour on this botanical illustration. The vibrant hues bring these blossoms to life, showcasing their intricate petals and graceful forms. It is no wonder that this piece has become a treasured part of the Historica Graphica Collection. As you gaze upon this enchanting print, you are transported back in time to a period when nature was celebrated through art. The combination of German craftsmanship and scientific accuracy makes it not only visually stunning but also historically significant. Whether you are an admirer of botanical art or simply appreciate the wonders of nature, this print serves as a reminder that even centuries-old illustrations can still evoke awe and admiration today.
