EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf adorned with four exquisite illustrations of different heron species, including the striking red-necked heron (Egretta rufescens). The title on the object, "Herons (Ardeidae), Oyvaerden / Ardeae / Cicognes" hints at the diverse range of herons depicted in this artwork. Numbered at the top right as 11, these meticulously detailed drawings are part of an extraordinary collection commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610, this particular piece is from the third album dedicated to bird illustrations. Measuring approximately 180 mm in height and 171 mm in width, this masterpiece combines various artistic techniques such as watercolor paint, deck paint, pencil work, ink detailing, and pen strokes. The use of these mediums brings out both vibrant colors and intricate details that breathe life into each heron portrayal. Accompanied by explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages further enhance our understanding of these shore-birds and wading-birds. This remarkable composition not only captures the beauty of nature but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about flora and fauna during that era
