EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two botanical wonders - 1. Solanum Pomiferum and 2. Amaracus vulgaris, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in 1613, this engraving is a testament to Besler's meticulous attention to detail and his passion for capturing the essence of nature. In the image, we are transported to the enchanting garden of the Prince Bishop of Eichstatt, where these remarkable plants flourished under his care. The first plant, Solanum Pomiferum, also known as nightshade or possibly Solanum pseudocapsicum or capsicastrum, stands tall with its vibrant green leaves and delicate white flowers that seem to glow against a dark backdrop. Next to it is Amarus vulgaris, an elegant species commonly referred to as amaranth or love-lies-bleeding. Its cascading clusters of crimson blooms create a striking contrast against its lush foliage. The precision and artistry captured in this engraving truly bring these plants to life on paper. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and how it continues to inspire artists throughout history. This stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate not only the scientific significance but also the sheer aesthetic allure that can be found within botanical illustrations like this one.
