Painting Description
The "Hortus Eystettensis" is a renowned botanical work created by Basilius Besler, a German apothecary and botanist, and published in the early 17th century. This monumental florilegium, first released in 1613, is celebrated for its detailed and artistic representation of the diverse plant species found in the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt, Johann Konrad von Gemmingen. The garden, located in the Willibaldsburg Castle in Eichstätt, Bavaria, was one of the most extensive and diverse botanical collections of its time.
The "Hortus Eystettensis" is notable for its comprehensive and systematic approach to botanical illustration. It features over 1,000 plant species, meticulously categorized according to the seasons in which they bloom. The work is divided into four sections, each corresponding to a different season, showcasing the plants in their natural order of flowering. This seasonal arrangement not only highlights the beauty and variety of the garden throughout the year but also serves as an invaluable resource for botanists and horticulturists.
Each plant is depicted with remarkable accuracy and attention to detail, reflecting Besler's dedication to both scientific precision and artistic excellence. The illustrations are accompanied by Latin names and brief descriptions, providing essential information about the plants' characteristics and origins. The "Hortus Eystettensis" is considered a masterpiece of botanical art and a significant contribution to the field of botany, bridging the gap between science and art.
The original publication of the "Hortus Eystettensis" was a large-format, lavishly illustrated volume, printed using copperplate engravings. It was an expensive and prestigious work, intended for wealthy patrons and institutions. Over the centuries, it has been reprinted and remains a highly sought-after collector's item. The "Hortus Eystettensis" continues to be admired for its historical significance, artistic beauty, and scientific value, making it a timeless treasure in the world of botanical literature.
