EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century artwork showcases the timeless beauty of rose flowers. In this exquisite print, we are transported back in time to witness the delicate charm of four distinct rose plants and their blossoms. The lower right corner reveals a vibrant yellow rose, while its counterpart in the upper right boasts a rich red hue. On the upper left, we encounter the enchanting Scotch rose (Rosa spinosissima) with its alluring petals, and on the lower left stands the cinnamon rose (Rosa cinnamomea), emanating warmth through its earthy tones. This remarkable illustration is derived from Basilius Beslers Hortus Eystettensis, a groundbreaking book published in 1613 that revolutionized botanical knowledge during its era. With over 1000 meticulously detailed flower illustrations, it attempted an early pre-Linnaeus taxonomy and remains one of history's largest and most comprehensive works. As we gaze upon this copper plate engraving by Basilius Besler himself, we are reminded of his profound contribution to horticulture and botany. This historical masterpiece not only captures our attention but also serves as a testament to mankind's enduring fascination with nature's wonders.
