EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) in all its majestic glory. The bird, known as the Reijgher or Ardea Stellaris major, stands tall and proud against a backdrop of lush vegetation. Its vibrant purple plumage is beautifully captured, highlighting the elegance and grace of this magnificent creature. The title on the object simply reads "Purple Heron" while the top right corner displays the number 20. This particular print is part of the third album with drawings of birds, which forms one-fifth of a larger collection consisting of twelve albums depicting animals, birds, and plants from around 1600. Emperor Rudolf II commissioned these exquisite illustrations by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610. The artwork itself is meticulously detailed, rendered using various mediums such as watercolor paint, deck paint, pencil, chalk, and brush on paper. Measuring approximately 186 mm in height and 172 mm in width, it exudes an air of sophistication that reflects both the artist's skill and Emperor Rudolf II's appreciation for natural beauty. Accompanying this remarkable piece are explanations written in Dutch, Latin, and French languages—providing further insight into the characteristics and significance of this regal avian species. Whether displayed as part of a personal collection or used for educational purposes to explore historical scientific studies on wildlife during that era—the Purple Heron print from Liszt Collection offers
