EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from Basilius Besler's "Florilegium" transports us back to the year 1613, when botanical illustrations were highly valued for their scientific and artistic qualities. The print features three exquisite species of lilies: Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis), St. Brunos lily (Paradisea liliastrum), and pink Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis). The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing the intricate beauty of these delicate flowers. Each petal and leaf has been meticulously rendered, capturing the essence of these plants with astonishing accuracy. Besler's "Florilegium" was a groundbreaking work that aimed to document and categorize various plant species. This particular print serves as a testament to his dedication as a botanist and illustrator. The Lily-of-the-Valley, known for its sweet fragrance, stands tall amidst its surroundings while the vibrant pink variety adds a splash of color to the composition. St. Brunos lily exudes elegance with its graceful form and pristine white petals. This engraving not only appeals to lovers of art but also provides valuable insights into the world of biology and botany during the early 17th century. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders throughout history. Granger Art on Demand presents this extraordinary piece from their collection—a timeless reminder that even centuries-old prints can continue to inspire awe and appreciation
