EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a captivating botanical illustration titled "Oxe Eye Daisy and Crown Daisy" from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to both the artistic skill and scientific knowledge of its time. Besler, an esteemed apothecary in Nuremberg, was entrusted with tending to the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat. His expertise shines through in this stunning depiction of two distinct daisy species. The first, Bellis maior (now known as Leucanthemum), commonly referred to as Oxe Eye Daisy, boasts delicate white petals surrounding a vibrant yellow center. Meanwhile, Chrysanthaemum Creticum luteum (now classified as Glebionis coronaria) or Crown Daisy flaunts radiant golden blooms that add a touch of warmth and elegance. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these daisies held great significance for herbalists and physicians during that era. Known for their medicinal properties and edible nature, they were utilized for various remedies and culinary purposes. This remarkable print not only captures the beauty of these flowers but also serves as a historical record within the German school's botanical tradition. It belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection—a treasure trove of illustrations that offer insights into our natural world throughout different periods.
