"Tulipa Perfica non aperta," "Tulipa Polyanthos Pracox," and "Tulipa Perfica aperta" are three botanical illustrations by Basilius Besler, a respected German botanist and apothecary. These illustrations are part of Besler's monumental work, the "Hortus Eystettensis," which is a codex of the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. Published in 1613, the "Hortus Eystettensis" is one of the earliest large-scale botanical codices and is renowned for its detailed and accurate representations of flowers, herbs, and plants.

The illustrations of the tulips by Besler, including "Tulipa Perfica non aperta" (the perfect tulip not opened), "Tulipa Polyanthos Pracox" (the early-blooming polyanthus tulip), and "Tulipa Perfica aperta" (the perfect tulip opened), showcase the tulip varieties that were cultivated in the early 17th century and reflect the tulip mania that would sweep across Europe a few decades later. Besler's work is characterized by its artistic quality and scientific accuracy, making it a valuable resource for both botanists and art historians.

The "Hortus Eystettensis" was particularly significant as it depicted plants throughout the seasons, and Besler's tulip illustrations are notable examples of this approach. The tulips are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, from the delicate veins on the petals to the subtle gradations of color. These images not only served as a record of the botanical diversity of the time but also as a testament to the skill and dedication of Besler and his team of craftsmen who produced the engravings.

Today, Basilius Besler's tulip illustrations are considered masterpieces of botanical art and are highly prized by collectors. They continue to be studied and admired for their beauty and historical importance, offering a window into the botanical knowledge and aesthetic preferences of the early 17th century.
