EDITORS COMMENTS
White Daffodil (Narcissus), 1596-1610: A Botanical Masterpiece from the Netherlands This exquisite print, titled "White Daffodil (Narcissus)," dates back to the late 16th or early 17th century and was created by the renowned Flemish botanist Anselmus de Boodt and his assistant Elias Verhulst. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece is a testament to the advanced botanical knowledge and artistic skills of the time. The White Daffodil (Narcissus) is depicted in meticulous detail, with the delicate petals and intricate veins of the flower rendered in chalk, brush, and ink on paper. The background is filled with vibrant colors, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The lettering, also penned by Verhulst, identifies the plant as Narcissus, a reference to the mythological figure who fell in love with his own reflection. Anselmus de Boodt was a prominent figure in the natural history and scientific community of the Netherlands during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was a prolific writer and illustrator, and his works on botany and mineralogy were widely circulated throughout Europe. This print is a prime example of his dedication to accurately depicting the natural world and advancing scientific knowledge. Emperor Rudolf II, a patron of the arts and sciences, was a significant supporter of de Boodt's work. The White Daffodil (Narcissus) print is just one of many botanical illustrations that were produced for his extensive library and collection. Today, this print is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcasing the beauty of nature and the scientific curiosity of the past.
