EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sheet of eight different fish, with the title "Carcharias" inscribed on it. The sheet is part of the sixth album containing exquisite drawings of fish, shells, and insects commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600. Created by the talented artist Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610, this artwork demonstrates his mastery in capturing the intricate details of marine life. Each fish on the sheet is numbered from one to eight and accompanied by its Latin name. The top right corner bears the number 23, indicating its place within the collection. This particular album forms one-sixth of a larger series comprising twelve albums dedicated to animals, birds, and plants known during that era. The delicate strokes of watercolor paint combined with ink and pen bring these aquatic creatures to life on paper. The use of deck paint adds depth and texture to enhance their realism further. Explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French provide valuable insights into each species depicted. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistry and scientific observation from centuries past. It serves as a testament to Emperor Rudolf II's passion for natural history while showcasing Anselmus Boetius de Boodt's exceptional talent as an artist specializing in zoological illustrations.
