Painting Description
"Hyacinthus Serolinus Obsoleto Colore; Muscari Obsoleto Albo Flore; Pseudo Narcissus; Colchicum Vulgare Purpura" is a botanical illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary and botanist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Besler is best known for his monumental work, "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden of Eichstätt), which is a codex of the plants in the garden of the bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. This particular illustration is one of the many plates from this work, which was first published in 1613.
The illustration features four different plant species, each with its own unique characteristics and Latin name. "Hyacinthus Serolinus Obsoleto Colore" likely refers to a variety of hyacinth with a faded color, "Muscari Obsoleto Albo Flore" to a white-flowered grape hyacinth with an obsolete or outdated name, "Pseudo Narcissus" to a plant resembling a daffodil (often used to describe wild daffodils), and "Colchicum Vulgare Purpura" to a common purple colchicum or autumn crocus.
Besler's work is significant for its detailed and accurate representations of plants, which were highly valued for both scientific and artistic reasons during the period of its publication. The "Hortus Eystettensis" was one of the first botanical books to be organized according to the season of flowering of the plants, and it set a high standard for botanical illustration. The illustrations were created using copperplate engraving, a technique that allowed for fine detail and precision, and were hand-colored after printing.
The "Hyacinthus Serolinus Obsoleto Colore; Muscari Obsoleto Albo Flore; Pseudo Narcissus; Colchicum Vulgare Purpura" plate exemplifies the meticulous work that went into the creation of "Hortus Eystettensis" and serves as an important historical record of botanical art and knowledge during the early 17th century. The work of Basilius Besler, including this illustration, continues to be celebrated for its contribution to botany and horticulture, as well as its aesthetic beauty.
