EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of nature as depicted in the Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. The image features three distinct botanical specimens: 1. Melocactus, 2. Rosa Hiericontea aperta, and 3. Rosa Hiericontea conclusa. The first plant, Melocactus, stands tall with its unique cactus form and striking appearance. Its spiky exterior adds an element of intrigue to this already fascinating composition. Next, we are introduced to Rosa Hiericontea aperta, a rose variety that exudes elegance and grace. The delicate petals unfurl in full bloom, revealing their vibrant colors and enticing fragrance. Finally, we encounter Rosa Hiericontea conclusa - a closed bud waiting patiently for its moment to shine. This tightly wrapped flower promises a future burst of beauty yet to be revealed. Originally published in 1613 as part of the renowned Hortus Eystettensis collection within the garden of the Prince Bishop of Eichstatt, these engravings have stood the test of time and continue to captivate viewers today. Through this masterful engraving by an anonymous German artist from the 17th century, we are transported into a world where nature's wonders are immortalized on paper forever. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our fascination with botanical marvels remains unchanged.
