SOFTCOVER NOTIZBUCH ROSA NELKE ULTRA LINIERT

The art of still life painting is a celebrated part of Dutch culture  but this time-honoured
artistic style didn't develop from thin air. Before still life emerged  there were illustrators
who delicately illuminated handwritten manuscripts with images of flora and fauna to add
emotional power to a written work.One of the most celebrated practitioners of this style was
Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1601). Hoefnagel  a pivotal artistic figure from the Netherlands  is
remembered as being the last important Flemish manuscript illuminator and one of the first
artists to work on the new genre of still life. In the 1590s the Emperor Rudolf II commissioned
Hoefnagel to add his illuminations to the Mira calligraphiae monumenta  a mid-16th-century
manuscript on the art of calligraphy by Georg Bocskay. The page reproduced here is known as
Damselfly  Carnation  Insect  Caterpillar  Ladybird  English Walnut  and Marine Mollusk. Today
the book can be found in the Getty Museum.
