Painting Description
Nasturtium Indicum; And Ceruicariamaior Syluestris is a botanical illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary, botanist, and curator of the famous Hortus Eystettensis, a detailed collection of botanical illustrations commissioned by Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, prince bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. The work, which translates to "Indian Cress; and Greater Hornbeam of the Forest" in English, is part of Besler's larger body of work that meticulously documents the plants found in the bishop's garden, which was one of the earliest and most diverse European botanical gardens of its time.
The illustration is notable for its artistic quality and scientific accuracy, reflecting the Renaissance period's growing interest in the natural world and the development of botanical science. Besler's work is celebrated for bridging the gap between art and science, as it not only served as a visual record of the botanical diversity but also as a source of information for scholars and herbalists.
Nasturtium Indicum; And Ceruicariamaior Syluestris, like other illustrations in the Hortus Eystettensis, would have been created through a collaborative process involving gardeners, illustrators, and engravers, with Besler overseeing the project to ensure the fidelity of the representations. The illustrations were originally published in 1613 and are considered some of the most significant botanical illustrations of the period due to their detail, scale, and the comprehensive nature of the work.
As a piece of botanical history, Nasturtium Indicum; And Ceruicariamaior Syluestris is not only a testament to Besler's dedication to documenting plant life but also an example of the intersection of art, science, and the passion for collecting and categorizing the natural world that characterized the Renaissance and early modern periods.
