Botanical Bulb German School 17th Century Hand Coloured Engraving Spring Flower Tulip Historica Graphica Collection
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Varieties of Tulip" from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis, a botanical masterpiece by Basil Besler. Published in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures the vibrant colours and intricate details of these spring flowers. Basil Besler, an apothecary in Nuremberg and caretaker of the gardens at Prince Bishop near Eichstat, dedicated his life to studying and documenting various plant species. His meticulous illustrations not only served as scientific records but also as works of art that continue to inspire botanists and artists alike. In this particular print, we are presented with a stunning array of tulips showcasing their diverse hues and forms. From the fiery reds to delicate purples and pale yellows, each tulip variety possesses its own unique charm. The attention to detail is evident in every petal's texture and shading, bringing these blossoms to life on paper. As we admire this historical gem from the German school of botanical illustration, we are transported back in time to witness nature's beauty through Besler's eyes. This piece serves as a reminder that even centuries later, flowers remain timeless symbols of renewal and vitality.
