EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration, titled 'Ben rubrum, Valeriana rubra (red valerian)', dates back to the late 16th or early 17th century. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, it was created by the renowned Flemish botanist and artist Anselmus de Boodt, in collaboration with Elias Verhulst. The illustration is an intricate and detailed depiction of the red valerian plant, showcasing its vibrant red color and intricate structure. Anselmus de Boodt, also known as Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, was a prominent figure in the scientific community of the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries. He was known for his extensive knowledge of natural history and his contributions to the field of botany. This illustration is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world. The illustration was created using a combination of media, including brush, chalk, ink, watercolor, and deck paint on paper. The lettering is neatly written in Latin, reflecting the scientific and scholarly nature of the work. The scene is set against a plain background, allowing the plant to take center stage. This illustration is an important addition to any collection of botanical art or natural history. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of botany and natural history during the 16th and 17th centuries. The intricate detail and beautiful coloration make it a stunning addition to any art gallery or museum exhibition, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during this period.
