EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of a Lapwing flower (Fritillaria meleagris) alongside a vibrant Bohemian apple. The image is part of an extraordinary collection commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th century, consisting of twelve albums filled with exquisite drawings of animals, birds, and plants known during that time. Numbered as 7 and 8 in the top right corner, this particular artwork features detailed explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. The artist behind this masterpiece is Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, who meticulously captured the essence of these natural wonders using various mediums such as watercolor paint, deck paint, chalk, ink, pen on paper. The Lapwing flower's intricate petals are beautifully depicted with shades of purple and white while its unique pattern resembles that of a lapwing bird's plumage. Next to it lies a luscious Bohemian apple which adds a contrasting burst of red to the composition. This print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable botanical information for enthusiasts. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's diversity through art while immersing themselves in historical knowledge from centuries past.
