EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable natural phenomenon known as a fulgurite or lightning tube, also referred to as a thunder stone. Created during the intense heat of a lightning strike, this tube is formed by molten sand or rock that solidifies into an intricate and delicate structure. The Latin name for this particular specimen can be found in the top right corner, while its identification number is displayed on the top left: 27. This stunning image is part of the seventh album within a collection of drawings depicting reptiles, amphibians, and various natural history ensembles. These twelve albums were commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600 and are renowned for their exquisite watercolor illustrations of animals, birds, and plants. Accompanying these detailed depictions are explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. The artist responsible for bringing these extraordinary images to life is Anselmus Boetius de Boodt from Prague between 1596 and 1610. Printed on high-quality paper using watercolor paint along with deck paint accents, this print measures approximately 110 mm in height by 116 mm in width.
