EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sheet filled with twelve intricately drawn fish and cuttlefish, each numbered from 1 to 12. The Latin names of these marine creatures accompany their respective illustrations. Positioned at the top right corner is the number 26, indicating its place within the sixth album of drawings commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th to early 17th century. The meticulous details captured in this artwork highlight the expertise and talent of Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, who dedicated his skills to creating lifelike depictions of animals, birds, plants, shells, and insects. This particular sheet focuses on fishes and molluscs such as squid and octopus. Measuring approximately 288 mm in height by 155 mm in width, this paper-based masterpiece is brought to life through watercolor paint, deck paint, ink, and pen techniques. The combination of vibrant colors and precise lines adds depth and dimension to each creature's form. Accompanied by explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages further enriches our understanding of these aquatic beings. It serves as a testament not only to Emperor Rudolf II's appreciation for natural history but also as a valuable historical artifact that allows us insight into scientific exploration during the early modern period
