EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Lilium candidum monstrosum, a rare and enchanting flower. Created by Hans Simon Holtzbecher in the 17th century, this gouache on parchment artwork is part of the renowned Gottorfer Codex album. Measuring at an impressive 50.5x38.5 cm, this botanical illustration captures every intricate detail of the plant's root, bulb, tuber, leaves, and flowers with remarkable precision. The delicate white petals contrast beautifully against the vibrant green foliage. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life this extraordinary specimen from nature's vast repertoire. Its inclusion in the Gottorfer Codex further emphasizes its significance as a valuable botanical discovery during that era. Notably featured within this composition is an annunciation scene depicting Madonna holding a lily - symbolizing purity and innocence - adding a spiritual dimension to this already mesmerizing piece. Now housed in Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, this German masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. Through generations it has remained out of copyright and can be appreciated by all who appreciate fine art. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to marvel at Holtzbecher's talent while providing us with a glimpse into history through his meticulous depiction of Lilium candidum monstrosum.
