EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornelis van Noorde's exquisite botanical drawing, titled "Tulip called Bizard Pontifex Romanus," showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail and profound understanding of the natural world. Dated between the 1740s and 1790s, this masterpiece is a testament to the Dutch artist's contributions to the field of botanical illustration during the 18th century. The drawing depicts a single tulip, its petals unfurled in a stunning display of black and green hues. The black coloration of the tulip's petals, a rare and intriguing variation, adds to its bizarre and captivating appearance. Van Noorde masterfully employs a combination of brush, chalk, and watercolor paint to bring the tulip to life on paper. The drawing's title, "Bizard Pontifex Romanus," suggests a connection to the papacy or Roman Catholic Church, though the meaning behind this title remains a mystery. Regardless, the drawing's intriguing name adds to its allure and mystique. As a leading botanical artist of his time, Cornelis van Noorde's work was highly valued by scholars, collectors, and institutions. His studies of tulips and other flowers were instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of these plants during the Age of Enlightenment. Today, this drawing is a cherished part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world, as well as the important role that art and science played in the exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 18th century.
