Painting Description
"Piper Indicum Minimum Erectum, Piper Indicum Bisfurcata Siliqua. Lilium Montanum Rubrum Praecox, Iris Bulbosa Pallido Colori, Iris Solys Angustis Prima Clusij" is a notable 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," a codex of botanical illustrations commissioned by Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. The work was published in 1613 and is considered one of the earliest and most significant botanical tomes of the period.
The illustration in question is part of this larger work and features a series of plants, each meticulously detailed, reflecting the scientific and artistic standards of the time. The title of the illustration refers to several species: "Piper Indicum Minimum Erectum" and "Piper Indicum Bisfurcata Siliqua" likely refer to varieties of pepper plants; "Lilium Montanum Rubrum Praecox" suggests an early-blooming red mountain lily; "Iris Bulbosa Pallido Colori" indicates a pale-colored bulbous iris; and "Iris Solys Angustis Prima Clusij" may refer to an early-blooming iris named after the botanist Carolus Clusius.
Besler's work is characterized by its accuracy in the portrayal of plants, which was crucial for the identification and study of botanical specimens during a time when scientific classification and taxonomy were still in their infancy. The illustrations in "Hortus Eystettensis" were based on the plants grown in the bishop's garden, which was one of the earliest examples of a European botanical garden.
The significance of Besler's illustrations lies not only in their scientific value but also in their artistic merit. The detailed engravings are celebrated for their beauty and the skill with which they were produced. Today, they provide insight into the botanical knowledge and aesthetic preferences of the early 17th century, as well as the history of botanical garden design and plant cultivation in Europe.
As a piece of botanical and historical importance, "Piper Indicum Minimum Erectum, Piper Indicum Bisfurcata Siliqua. Lilium Montanum Rubrum Praecox, Iris Bulbosa Pallido Colori, Iris Solys Angustis Prima Clusij" by Basilius Besler remains a valuable resource for both botanists and art historians, reflecting the intersection of science and art during the Renaissance.
