EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three exquisite varieties of rhizomatous beardless irises, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. The first iris, Iris Calcedonica Latifolia, boasts vibrant colors that resemble a rainbow plant - an apt name for this Greek symbol of nobility representing the sceptre. Moving on to the second variety, Iris Florontina displays its delicate petals with grace and elegance. Interestingly, this particular iris holds historical significance as it is believed to have inspired the French royal fleur de lys emblem. Besler's expertise as an apothecary in Nuremberg shines through his meticulous attention to detail in capturing these botanical wonders. Not only was he entrusted with overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat but also had a keen eye for illustrating nature's beauty. Dating back to the 17th century, this hand-colored engraving from Germany exemplifies both artistic skill and scientific accuracy. Each flower comes alive on paper through vivid hues and intricate patterns meticulously rendered by Besler himself. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this illustration serves as a testament to our fascination with flora throughout history. It celebrates not only the aesthetic appeal but also highlights their importance within various cultural contexts.
