Painting Description
"Melanzana Fructu Pallido" is a botanical illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary, botanist, and curator of the garden of the Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. This work is part of Besler's monumental horticultural work, "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden of Eichstätt), which was first published in 1613. The "Hortus Eystettensis" is a codex of the plants in the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt, and it is one of the earliest large-scale botanical codices, celebrated for its meticulous and beautiful illustrations.
The illustration "Melanzana Fructu Pallido" specifically depicts a pale variety of eggplant, which is referred to by its Latin name, translating to "eggplant with pale fruit." Besler's work is notable for its accuracy and attention to detail, which was an important contribution to the botanical sciences during the early 17th century. The illustrations in "Hortus Eystettensis" were created over a period of sixteen years and were primarily drawn and engraved by Besler himself, with the assistance of a few other artists.
"Melanzana Fructu Pallido," like other illustrations in the collection, showcases the plant in a naturalistic style, capturing both its aesthetic beauty and scientific characteristics. The publication of "Hortus Eystettensis" was a significant event in botanical history, as it provided one of the most comprehensive visual records of the flora of the time and contributed to the spread of botanical knowledge across Europe.
The "Hortus Eystettensis" remains a valuable historical document, not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the field of botany and the study of plant biodiversity. Original copies of the work are rare and highly prized by collectors. "Melanzana Fructu Pallido" stands as a testament to Besler's dedication to both art and science, and it continues to be admired for its beauty and historical significance.
