EDITORS COMMENTS
Clematis, 1596-1610: A Botanical Masterpiece by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst This exquisite 16th century print of the clematis flower is a testament to the remarkable collaboration between two brilliant artists, Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this work of art showcases the artists' exceptional skills in various mediums, including chalk, ink, watercolor, and brushwork. Anselmus de Boodt, a renowned botanist and scholar from the Low Countries, was responsible for the accurate and detailed botanical depiction of the clematis. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the flower's veins, petals, and stamen. The scientific accuracy of the drawing was crucial to the natural history of the time, as Emperor Rudolf II was an avid collector of exotic plants and animals. Elias Verhulst, a skilled painter from Delft, added the vibrant watercolor and lettering to the print. His use of color and brushwork brings the clematis to life, capturing its ethereal beauty and delicate texture. The lettering, written in Latin, identifies the plant as Clematis and provides information about its origin. The collaboration between Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst resulted in a stunning work of art that transcends its botanical origins. This print is a valuable addition to any art or natural history collection and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries.
