EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of three varieties of buttercup, as depicted in Basil Besler's renowned work, Hortus Eystettensis. Created in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to Besler's expertise as both an apothecary and a gardener. The first variety displayed is the Ranunculus Hortensis erectus flore simplici luteo, commonly known as the Bulbous buttercup. Its vibrant yellow petals gracefully unfold, radiating warmth and cheerfulness. Next is the Ranunculus Montanus maior flore luteo or Common buttercup, with its delicate blossoms adding a touch of elegance to this botanical masterpiece. Lastly, we have the Ranunculus erectus minimus flore pleno luteo prolifero or simply Buttercup; its double-layered yellow flowers exude charm and playfulness. Besler's dedication to capturing these plants' intricate details shines through every stroke of his brush. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to scientific knowledge during that era. Displayed within the Historica Graphica Collection, this enchanting illustration transports us back in time to appreciate nature's wonders through artistry and precision. As we gaze upon these yellow blooms immortalized on paper by a talented German artist from centuries ago, let us marvel at their timeless allure and remember that beauty transcends generations.
