EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of "Fire Lily and Viola" from Hortus Eystettensis, a renowned botanical work by Basil Besler. Created in 1613, this hand-colored engraving is a testament to the artistic skill and scientific knowledge of the German School in the 17th century. The image features three distinct plants: I Lilium cruentum flore pleno, an orange lily bearing bulbs that are both visually striking and potentially toxic to cats; II Viola erecta flore coeruleo, an upright form of viola with blue flowers; III Viola erecta flore albo, another variety of viola with white blooms. Notably, this particular type of viola is now almost extinct. Besler's expertise as an apothecary in Nuremberg shines through in his meticulous depiction of these plants. The hybridized form of Lilium cruentum showcased here was derived from its original alpine wild flower counterpart. Both species hold significant botanical and medicinal value. Displayed against a neutral background, these vibrant flowers command attention with their intricate details and delicate colors. This print captures not only the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and fragility. Part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this image has been preserved for generations to come thanks to Bridgeman Images' commitment to sharing fine art masterpieces like this one.
