EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of the Grebe bird species, scientifically known as Podiceps cristatus and colloquially referred to as Colijmbus minor. The artwork is part of an extraordinary collection commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, a renowned artist of that era, this particular piece belongs to the third album dedicated to bird drawings. The image itself is meticulously detailed, capturing the essence of this graceful waterbird with remarkable precision. With its long neck elegantly arched and its distinctive plumage beautifully depicted in vibrant watercolors, the Grebe appears almost lifelike on paper. The Latin name is inscribed in delicate calligraphy at the top left corner while a numerical identifier can be found at the top right. Accompanying this exquisite artwork are explanations provided in Dutch, Latin, and French languages - offering viewers a comprehensive understanding of both scientific and cultural aspects associated with these avian creatures. Measuring approximately 136mm in height and 193mm in width, this print exemplifies Boetius de Boodt's mastery over various artistic mediums such as watercolor paint, pencil sketches, chalk outlines, ink detailing using pen nibs. As part of Liszt Collection's vast archives showcasing historical artifacts from around the world (excluding commercial use), this photograph preserves not only an exceptional work of art but also provides invaluable insights into natural history studies
