EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving titled "Creeping Bugle, Spring Vetch and Red Campion, from Hortus Eystettensis" showcases the exquisite beauty of nature captured by Basil Besler in 1613. The print features three distinct plant species: Creeping Bugle (Ajuga repens), Spring Vetch (Lathyrus vernus), and Red Campion (Silene dioica). Besler, a renowned apothecary in Nuremberg during the 17th century, was not only an expert in medicinal plants but also had a deep passion for botanical artistry. In this artwork, he masterfully combines his knowledge of herbs with his artistic skills to create a visually stunning composition. The delicate flowers of Creeping Bugle spread across the image like a vibrant carpet, while the graceful tendrils of Spring Vetch intertwine elegantly. The striking red blossoms of Red Campion add a pop of color against the lush green foliage. Each plant depicted holds its own significance - from their culinary uses to their medicinal properties. This engraving serves as both an aesthetic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in botany. Preserved within private collections today, this piece is part of the Stapleton Collection and continues to inspire viewers with its intricate details and timeless charm. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded once again that nature's wonders are truly awe-inspiring.
