EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of four varieties of Dog Rose, 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 an apothecary and his role as the head gardener at Prince Bishop near Eichstat. The first variety, Rosa sylvestris odorata incarnato flore, enchants with its delicate pink blossoms that exude a sweet fragrance. Next, we are captivated by the vibrant red blooms of Rosa Sylvestris flore rubro. Its striking hue adds a burst of color to any garden or landscape. Moving on to Rosa milesiarubra flore simpli (Rosa Gallica), we encounter a simple yet elegant species known for its single-layered petals. This particular rose variety has been cherished for centuries due to its timeless charm and grace. Lastly, we are introduced to Rosa eglenteria (Rosa Rubiginosa), commonly referred to as Common Sweet Briar. With its dainty white flowers and prickly stems, this shrub rose offers both visual appeal and natural protection. Besler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in each illustration within this botanical masterpiece. The colours come alive through his skilled hand-colouring technique, allowing us to appreciate these magnificent roses just as they would have appeared centuries ago. This historical gem from the German school of art serves not only
