EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Blue Iris (Iris sibirica) Portuguese irides lusitanae. Also known as the blue flag, this delicate flower is depicted in exquisite detail, capturing its vibrant hues and intricate petals. The print is part of a larger collection of drawings featuring flowers and plants from around 1600. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, these twelve albums were meticulously created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610. Each album contains stunning illustrations accompanied by explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French. The Blue Iris holds a special place within this third album dedicated to flora. Its striking presence evokes a sense of tranquility and elegance. The numbered tag on the top right corner indicates that it is entry number 200 in this remarkable series. Printed on high-quality paper with watercolor paint, deck paint, chalk, and pen techniques employed skillfully by de Boodt himself; this artwork measures approximately 234 mm in height and 158 mm in width. As we admire this timeless piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as an invaluable record of nature's wonders during the Renaissance period.
