"Staphylodendron" is a botanical illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary, botanist, and curator. Besler is best known for his monumental work, "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden at Eichstätt), which is a codex of the plants in the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. Published in 1613, this florilegium is one of the earliest large-scale botanical works and is celebrated for its detailed and accurate illustrations of flowers, herbs, and plants.

The illustration "Staphylodendron" specifically depicts the plant species commonly known as the grapevine (Vitis vinifera). In the context of Besler's work, it is an example of the detailed copperplate engravings that were produced under his supervision. Each plate in the "Hortus Eystettensis" was created by a team of skilled artists and craftsmen who worked from live plant specimens, ensuring a high degree of botanical accuracy and artistic quality.

The "Staphylodendron" illustration is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, from the texture of the grape leaves to the form of the grape clusters. As with other illustrations in Besler's collection, it serves not only as a scientific record but also as a work of art, reflecting the intricate beauty of the natural world.

The "Hortus Eystettensis" and its illustrations, including "Staphylodendron," had a significant impact on the field of botany and botanical art, influencing the work of future scientists and artists. The collection remains an important historical record of early modern botanical illustration and a testament to Besler's contribution to the field.
