EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Bulb Imperial Crown, also known as Fritillaria imperialis. The Kliester globe, or sphere, of this majestic flower is depicted in all its glory. Numbered at the top right corner as 2 and marked with a vibrant red star on the top left, this print is part of a remarkable collection. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th century, this album features intricate drawings of flowers and plants that were known around 1600. Created in the Southern Netherlands between 1796 and 1814, it represents a stunning fusion of Dutch, Latin, and French explanations accompanying each illustration. The artist behind these masterpieces remains anonymous but has expertly captured every detail using paper as their canvas. Watercolor paints bring life to each petal while deck paint adds depth and texture to create an incredibly lifelike representation. With meticulous strokes from chalk and brush techniques, they have managed to convey not only the physical attributes but also the essence of this regal flower. Measuring approximately 230 mm in height and 151 mm in width, this print transports viewers back in time to appreciate nature's wonders through artistry. It serves as a testament to both botanical fascination during Emperor Rudolf II's reign and humanity's enduring appreciation for floral beauty across centuries.
