EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Cuttlefish (Sepiida), Saepia" which is part of the sixth album featuring exquisite drawings of fish, shells, and insects. Numbered at the top right corner as 3, this piece is one of twelve albums commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the early 17th century. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, a renowned artist mentioned on the object itself, this particular drawing was produced between 1596 and 1610 in Prague. The intricate details captured in this composition highlight the beauty and complexity of cuttlefish. The delicate lines drawn with pencil and chalk are enhanced with vibrant watercolors and deck paint to bring these marine creatures to life. Measuring approximately 310 mm in height and 171 mm in width, this artwork demonstrates Boetius de Boodt's mastery in capturing nature's wonders. Accompanying explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French provide further insight into the characteristics of these fascinating animals. This print from the Liszt Collection not only offers a glimpse into historical scientific illustrations but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about flora and fauna during that era
