EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor and gouache print, titled "Turtle" transports us back to the late 16th century in Flanders, Belgium. Created by the talented artist Joris Hoefnagel, this exquisite piece measures 14.3x18.4 cm and is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Hoefnagel's attention to detail is truly remarkable as he meticulously captures the essence of this magnificent creature. The turtle's shell is intricately depicted with delicate brushstrokes, showcasing its unique patterns and textures. Its wise eyes seem to hold a wealth of ancient wisdom, inviting us into its world. Set against a backdrop of vibrant flowers and lush foliage, this illustration not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also serves as an important historical document within the realm of natural history.
