EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a White Lily (Lilium candidum), also known as Lilium album or Fleur de lys blanche. The title on the object highlights its elegance and purity, while the numbering in the top right corner indicates its place within a larger collection. Part of the second album featuring drawings of flowers and plants, this particular image is from the ninth out of twelve albums commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600. These albums were meticulously created to document various animals, birds, and plants known during that time period. The artist behind this stunning depiction is Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, who worked on these illustrations between 1596 and 1610. Using paper as his canvas, he skillfully employed watercolor paint along with deck paint, chalk, ink, pen to bring this white lily to life. Accompanying this artwork are explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages - providing further insight into its botanical details. The delicate petals and intricate details captured in this image truly showcase nature's artistry. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the timeless beauty of a white lily but also serves as a window into historical botanical studies conducted during Emperor Rudolf II's reign.
