EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two different species of crocus flowers. The first one, known as Crocus purpereus variegatus, displays a stunning saffron purple hue that mesmerizes with its vibrant color. The second flower, identified as Crocus Lutens, boasts a delicate geluwe shade that adds a touch of elegance to the composition. The image is part of an album containing intricate drawings commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, these albums aimed to document various animals, birds, plants, and flowers known at that time. Numbered in the top right corner as 106 and accompanied by their Latin names, these crocuses are presented alongside detailed explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. This comprehensive approach allows viewers to appreciate not only the visual appeal but also gain knowledge about these botanical wonders. Measuring approximately 230 mm in height and 175 mm in width on paper adorned with watercolor paint and ink details using pen techniques; this print exemplifies both artistic mastery and scientific accuracy. It serves as a testament to the rich history of botanical exploration while reminding us of nature's boundless capacity for enchantment.
