EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and enchanting European bee-eater (Merops apiaster) alongside a woodpecker. The image is part of the third album containing exquisite drawings of various bird species, commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th to early 17th century. The European bee-eater, known for its striking plumage and graceful flight, takes center stage in this composition. Its colorful feathers create a stunning contrast against the woodland backdrop, while its slender beak hints at its diet of bees and other insects. Accompanying the photograph is a numbered annotation located on the top right corner, indicating it as number eight within this remarkable collection. A five-line inscription in French adorns the adjacent album page, providing further context to this avian masterpiece. Anselmus Boetius de Boodt meticulously captured every intricate detail using paper as his canvas and watercolor as his medium. With delicate brushstrokes and precise pencil lines enhanced by deck paint accents, he immortalized these birds' beauty for generations to appreciate. This particular print not only celebrates nature's wonders but also serves as an educational tool with explanations provided in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. It stands proudly among twelve albums that collectively depict animals, plants, and birds prevalent around 1600. The Liszt Collection has preserved this extraordinary artwork which transcends time through its meticulous craftsmanship and artistic brilliance – an homage to both Anselmus Boetius de Boodt's talent and Emperor Rudolf II's appreciation for natural history.
