EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf adorned with thirteen flying insects, capturing the essence of bloodless animals. The intricate details and vibrant colors of these insectae come to life on this sheet, which is numbered from 1 to 13 in the top right corner. This remarkable artwork is part of the sixth album commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th century. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt in Prague between 1596 and 1610, this masterpiece combines various artistic techniques such as pencil, chalk, watercolor, deck paint, ink, and pen. Measuring at approximately 127mm in height and 171mm in width, it beautifully captures the delicate nature of these creatures. The album itself consists of twelve volumes filled with drawings depicting animals, birds, plants that were known around the year 1600. Each drawing is accompanied by explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. As we explore this image further through our lens today, we are transported back to a time when art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also served as a scientific record. It reminds us of the immense diversity found within our natural world and how artists like Boetius de Boodt played an essential role in documenting its wonders for generations to come.
