EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration titled "Snoek Esox lucius Lucius Lupus Brochet". The artwork is part of the sixth album, commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, this masterpiece captures the essence of a pike fish in intricate detail. The image portrays the majestic snoek against a backdrop that highlights its natural habitat. With delicate pencil and chalk strokes, combined with vibrant watercolors and ink accents, every scale and fin comes to life. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he expertly captures the unique characteristics of this species. The title on the object reads "Snoek (Esox lucius), Snoek / Lucius Lupus / Brochet" providing multiple names for this magnificent creature in different languages. This demonstrates not only the international appeal of such illustrations but also their scientific significance during that era. Accompanied by explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French, this work serves as both an artistic marvel and a valuable educational resource. Measuring approximately 128 mm in height and 294 mm in width, it is clear that great care was taken to preserve its beauty throughout history. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection today, we are transported back to a time when art merged seamlessly with science. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage while celebrating nature's wonders through exquisite craftsmanship.
