EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) from Basilius Beslers Florilegium, a renowned botanical publication published in Nuremberg in 1613. The intricate details and artistic mastery of this early illustration transport us back to a time when botany was still being explored and documented. The tomato, belonging to the Solanaceae family, is depicted with utmost precision, capturing its distinctive features such as its root system and lush foliage. This engraving serves as a testament to the meticulous observation and scientific curiosity that characterized the era's approach to studying plants. Basilius Besler, a German botanist and pharmacist, meticulously compiled his Florilegium - a collection of beautiful plant illustrations accompanied by detailed descriptions. His work not only contributed greatly to our understanding of various species but also served as an inspiration for future generations of botanists. This particular image transports us into the pages of Besler's book, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people recognized the value of documenting nature's wonders through art. Granger Art on Demand has once again brought forth an exceptional piece from their collection – one that celebrates not just the tomato itself but also pays homage to the rich history behind botanical exploration.
