EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of Purslane, Summer Savory, and Winter Savory from Hortus Eystettensis. Created by Basil Besler in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving is a true masterpiece of botanical art. The image depicts three distinct herbs: Portulaca Sativa (Purslane), Satureia Domestica (Summer Savory), and Thymbra Legitima (Winter Savory). Each herb is meticulously illustrated with intricate details that bring them to life on the page. Besler's expertise as an apothecary in Nuremberg shines through in his accurate portrayal of these culinary herbs. These plants were not only valued for their visual appeal but also for their medicinal properties. It is fascinating to learn that Besler was responsible for tending to the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat. This connection adds another layer of significance to this artwork, as it represents a snapshot of history and horticultural practices during that time period. Displayed against a neutral background, these herbs become the focal point, commanding attention with their vivid colors and delicate forms. The artist's skillful use of color brings out every nuance and texture, making you feel like you could almost reach out and touch them. Whether you are an admirer of botanical art or simply appreciate nature's wonders, this enchanting print will surely captivate your imagination and transport you back to a time when scientific exploration met artistic expression.
