#533 – Basilius Besler framed and matted print under glass of 'Iafminum Indicum, feu flosmi, rabilis peruanus" marked on bottom "Besler 1613", 32.5" x 28.5". Bio from AskArt: Basilius Besler (1561-1629) was a respected Nuremberg apothecary and botanist, best known for his monumental Hortus Eystettensis. He was curator of the garden of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, Prince Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. The gardens surrounded the bishop's palace, Willibaldsburg, which was built on a hill overlooking the town. These gardens had been started in 1596 and designed by Besler's colleague, Joachim Camerarius the Younger (1534-1598), a physician and botanist. Upon Camerarius' death in 1598, Besler had the remainder of Camerarius' plants moved to Eichstätt and carried on the work of planting and supervision. The bishop commissioned Besler to compile a codex of the plants growing in his garden, a task which Besler took sixteen years to complete, the bishop dying shortly before the work was published. The work was named Hortus Eystettensis (Garden of Eichstätt). The plates were of garden flowers, herbs and vegetables, exotic plants. These were depicted near life-size, producing rich detail. The work generally reflected the four seasons, showing first the flowering and then the fruiting stages. "Winter" was sparsely represented with a mere 7 plates. "Spring" was a season of abundance with 134 plates illustrating 454 plants and "Summer" in full swing showed 505 plants on 184 plates. "Autumn" closed off the work with 42 plates and 98 species. Descriptions of the plants were in Latin and showed remarkable anticipation of the binomial system, in that the captions often consisted of the first two or three words of the description. The work was published twice more in Nuremberg, in 1640 and 1713, using the same plates, plates which were destroyed by the Royal Mint of Munich in 1817. The gardens were sacked by invading Swedish troops under Herzog Bernhard von Weimar in 1633-4; following Hortus Eystettensis they have been reconstructed and opened to the public in 1998.
