EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-century print depicts the enchanting White Water Lily (Nymphaea alba), a captivating aquatic flower native to the shallow waters of ponds and slow-moving rivers. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece was created by the skilled hands of Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst. Anselmus de Boodt (1550-1632), a Flemish botanist, and Elias Verhulst (1551-1614), a Dutch engraver, collaborated on this stunning work. The print showcases the artists' exceptional abilities in various mediums, including brush, chalk, color, and ink. The White Water Lily is depicted in a serene, natural setting, with its large, pristine white blooms floating gracefully atop the water's surface. The intricate details of the lily's petals, stems, and leaves are beautifully rendered, capturing the essence of the plant's delicate beauty. Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612), a renowned patron of the arts and sciences, was a significant figure in the Holy Roman Empire. His commission of this botanical illustration reflects his keen interest in natural history and the advancement of knowledge during the early modern period. This print, a testament to the artists' skill and the emperor's patronage, is a valuable addition to any art or natural history collection. The White Water Lily print by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst is a breathtaking example of the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
