Peonia Polyanthos Flore Rubro and Caryophyllus are two botanical illustrations from the seminal work "Hortus Eystettensis" by Basilius Besler, a respected Nuremberg apothecary, botanist, and curator. Published in 1613, "Hortus Eystettensis" is a monumental botanical work that documents the extensive garden of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, Prince Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. This garden, one of the earliest examples of a botanical garden attached to a residence, contained a wide variety of plants from different parts of the world, reflecting the period's growing interest in botany and the exploration of foreign lands.

The "Peonia Polyanthos Flore Rubro" and "Caryophyllus" illustrations are notable for their detailed depiction of the peony and carnation, respectively. Besler's work is celebrated for its accuracy and artistic quality, combining scientific detail with aesthetic appeal. Each illustration in the "Hortus Eystettensis" was produced using copperplate engraving, a technique that allowed for a high level of detail and precision. These engravings were then hand-colored in some of the luxury editions of the book, making each copy unique.

The "Hortus Eystettensis" is significant not only for its botanical importance but also for its place in the history of art and printing. It represents one of the first major uses of copperplate engraving in botanical illustration, a method that would become standard in the field. The work of Basilius Besler, including the "Peonia Polyanthos Flore Rubro" and "Caryophyllus" illustrations, remains a valuable resource for botanists, historians, and art enthusiasts, offering insight into the botanical knowledge and artistic practices of the early 17th century.
