EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the enchanting world of horticulture. Entitled "The forcing-house, from De Nederlandze Hesperides" this image showcases a lush greenhouse filled with an abundance of vibrant plants and citrus trees. In this private garden belonging to a wealthy merchant, rare and delicate fruit trees and plants were imported from distant lands. The meticulous arrangement of pots and buckets reveals the dedication of both the gardener and the family who would visit this sanctuary. As we peer through the glass walls of this sheltered haven, we can almost feel the warmth radiating from within. The gardener diligently tends to his beloved greenery, carefully watering each plant with a pail in hand. The air is fragrant with scents of blossoms as these cherished specimens thrive under his watchful eye. "The forcing-house" transports us to an era where nature's wonders were treasured possessions. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people sought solace amidst nature's beauty - finding respite within their own personal oasis. This remarkable engraving by Jan Commelin captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to mankind's eternal fascination with cultivating life itself.
