EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-17th century artwork, titled "Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) and Hot Pepper Sapling (Daphne cneorum)," is a captivating botanical illustration created by Anselmus de Boodt and Elias Verhulst. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this masterpiece is a testament to the natural wonders of the Low Countries and beyond. Anselmus de Boodt, a renowned botanist and physician, meticulously depicted the Bearberry plant, a low-growing shrub with bright red berries, in the foreground. The Bearberry, also known as Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, was believed to have medicinal properties and was widely used in Europe during this period. In the background, Elias Verhulst, an accomplished artist, beautifully rendered the Hot Pepper sapling, Daphne cneorum. The pepper plant, with its vibrant red and green hues, contrasts stunningly against the Bearberry, adding depth and intrigue to the composition. The artwork was created using a combination of chalk, ink, and deck paint on paper. The illustration's rich colors and fine details showcase the artists' exceptional skills and the advanced techniques of the time. The lettering, carefully inscribed at the bottom, identifies the two plants and acknowledges the commission from Emperor Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor. This artwork is a valuable addition to any natural history, botanical, or art collection, offering a glimpse into the scientific and artistic advancements of the 16th-17th centuries. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is proud to exhibit this heritage art piece, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and importance of these plants in history.
