Meanwhile, Apollo graces the right side as a representation of beauty and enlightenment, while Venus reigns over them all at the top. The intricate woodcut artwork beautifully captures these mythical figures alongside realistic depictions of plants and flowers. The inclusion of Roman numerals dating back to 1530 adds an air of historical significance to this piece. As we delve into this image's rich details, it becomes evident that it is not merely a botanical illustration but also an exploration of mythology, history, and human achievement.
