EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, created by the renowned botanical illustrator Basilius Besler in 1613, showcases two captivating varieties of Papaver, or poppy, from the Prince Bishop Johann Konrad von Gemmingen's garden in Eichstatt, Germany. The first poppy depicted is Papaver flore pleno rubrum, also known as the Double Red poppy. Its vibrant, full petals radiate a brilliant red hue, forming a perfect, symmetrical bloom that exudes an aura of opulence and elegance. Adorning the right side of the print is Papaver Eraticum rubrum, commonly referred to as the Wild Red poppy. Its wild, untamed beauty is evident in the irregular shape and slightly asymmetrical petals, which boast a rich, deep red color. The intricate details of the poppy's roots, leaves, and seed heads are also beautifully rendered, providing a comprehensive illustration of the plant's entire life cycle. These stunning poppy varieties are part of the extensive collection of illustrations found in Hortus Eystattensis sive diligens et accurata omnium plantarum, florum, stirpium ex variies orbis terrae partibus, a meticulously curated book showcasing the diverse flora of the world. As one of many plates in this remarkable tome, this engraving serves as a testament to Besler's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and the patronage of the Prince Bishop Johann Konrad von Gemmingen. The intricate details and lifelike accuracy of these illustrations continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the beauty and complexity of nature.
