The "Hand Colored Botanic Engraving from 'Hortus Eystettensis'" by Basilius Besler is a significant work in the history of botanical illustration and horticultural literature. Created in the early 17th century, "Hortus Eystettensis" is a monumental botanical codex that showcases the diverse plant species cultivated in the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt, Johann Konrad von Gemmingen. Basilius Besler, a Nuremberg apothecary and botanist, was commissioned to compile and illustrate this extensive collection, which was first published in 1613.

The engravings in "Hortus Eystettensis" are renowned for their scientific accuracy, artistic beauty, and meticulous detail. Each plate features a variety of plants, depicted in different stages of growth and often accompanied by their roots, flowers, and fruits. The hand-colored engravings add a vibrant and lifelike quality to the illustrations, enhancing their educational and aesthetic value. The use of color not only aids in the identification of the plants but also reflects the rich diversity of the garden's flora.

"Hortus Eystettensis" is divided into four sections, corresponding to the four seasons, and includes over 1,000 plant species. This organization allows readers to appreciate the seasonal changes in the garden and the continuous cycle of growth and renewal. The work is considered one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated botanical books of its time, and it has had a lasting impact on the field of botany and botanical art.

The legacy of Basilius Besler's "Hortus Eystettensis" extends beyond its initial publication. It has been reprinted and studied by botanists, horticulturists, and art historians for centuries. The hand-colored engravings continue to be admired for their precision and artistry, making "Hortus Eystettensis" a treasured masterpiece in the history of botanical literature.
