EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of a Musk rose (Rosa moschata) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus). The image, numbered as sheet hand number 5, is part of an album containing sheets and plates from De Boodts herbarium dating back to 1640. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this twelfth album features watercolors depicting animals, birds, and plants known during the early 17th century. The Musk rose and cucumber are depicted in exquisite detail, capturing their vibrant colors and intricate textures. The soft pink petals of the Musk rose contrast beautifully with the bright green skin of the cucumber. Both specimens are carefully rendered using paper, ink, watercolor paint, and engraving techniques. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into historical botanical knowledge. It reveals that these particular species were well-known during Emperor Rudolf II's reign. The inclusion of figs further adds to the composition's richness. While it is unclear who specifically created this artwork—whether it was anonymous or possibly Anselmi Boetii de Boot I. C. —its artistic value remains undeniable. This piece exemplifies how art can transcend time by preserving nature's wonders for generations to come.
