"Poma Amoris Fructu Luteo" 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 larger and most famous publication, the "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden of Eichstätt), which was commissioned by Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt. The "Hortus Eystettensis" is a monumental botanical work from the early 17th century, first published in 1613, and is renowned for its detailed and accurate illustrations of the plants grown in the bishop's garden.

The title "Poma Amoris Fructu Luteo" translates from Latin to "Apples of Love with Yellow Fruit," which refers to the yellow variety of the tomato, known at the time as an apple of love. The illustration is significant as it provides a historical reference to the cultivation and appearance of the tomato in the early 17th century, a period when tomatoes were still a novelty in Europe and often considered ornamental rather than edible.

Besler's work is characterized by its high level of detail and botanical accuracy, making it not only a valuable piece of art but also an important scientific record. The "Hortus Eystettensis" contains over a thousand watercolor and hand-colored copperplate engravings, depicting around 1,084 different species of plants, making it one of the most comprehensive botanical works of its time.

The illustration "Poma Amoris Fructu Luteo" is a testament to Besler's skill and dedication as an artist and botanist. It reflects the Renaissance fascination with the natural world and the desire to document and understand it through art and science. The work remains an important historical document for both botanical science and art, providing insight into the botanical knowledge and aesthetic sensibilities of the early 17th century.
