EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Peppers, 1613" showcases the exquisite botanical illustrations from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Published in 1613, this masterpiece of botanical artistry captures the essence of two distinct pepper varieties. The first variety depicted is Piper Indicum maximum longum, characterized by its elongated shape and vibrant green color. Its slender form gracefully curves towards the viewer, inviting a closer examination of its intricate details. The second variety, Piper Indicum minus recurvis filiquis, exhibits a more compact structure with delicate curled leaves that add an enchanting touch to its overall appearance. Besler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of these peppers' composition - from their textured foliage to their luscious fruits. Each pepper seems to radiate warmth and flavor through its rich hues ranging from deep reds to fiery oranges. This historical gem not only serves as a visual feast for admirers of botany but also offers valuable insights into the scientific exploration during the seventeenth century. It transports us back in time when gardens were cherished sanctuaries where nature's wonders were meticulously documented and celebrated. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Besler's era, this print brings together elements of history, science, and art seamlessly. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these humble vegetables continue to captivate our senses with their beauty and culinary significance.
