{"product_id":"joris-hoefnagel-poppy-anemones-caterpillar-fig-and-quince-botanical-calligraphy-print","title":"Joris Hoefnagel — Poppy Anemones, Caterpillar, Fig, and Quince | Botanical Calligraphy Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwelve lines of upright script, opened by an initial O in blue and gold filigree, fill the upper half of the page. Below, two poppy anemones, one scarlet and one crimson with a pale centre ring, cross their long stems in an X, and a green caterpillar with dark spots curls on the stalk of the red one. A purple-brown fig sits at the left and a lumpy golden quince at the right, each casting a soft shadow on the vellum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorg Bocskay, court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, wrote this model book of scripts in Vienna in 1561–62 to show the range of hands he commanded. About thirty years later Ferdinand's grandson, Emperor Rudolf II, commissioned Joris Hoefnagel to add fruit, flowers and insects to nearly every page, each composed to balance the writing around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a leaf from the Mira calligraphiae monumenta (Model Book of Calligraphy), watercolours, gold and silver paint and ink on parchment, written by Georg Bocskay in Vienna in 1561–62 and illuminated 1591–96; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoris Hoefnagel (1542–1600) was a Flemish artist, poet and traveller, the last major Flemish manuscript illuminator and one of the first artists to paint still life. Born to a wealthy merchant family, he recorded his travels in topographical drawings later used for a six-volume atlas, and served as court artist first to Albert V, duke of Bavaria, and from 1591 to Emperor Rudolf II. For Rudolf he painted flowers, fruit and insects onto the pages of a calligraphy model book written thirty years earlier by Georg Bocskay, now in the J. Paul Getty Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order. Unframed prints are made on Hahnemühle German Etching, a 310gsm matte fine-art paper.
