Anselmus Botius de Boodt, master of naturalist illustration

The work comes from the universe of Anselmus Botius de Boodt, a scholar and draftsman active at the turn of the 17th century, whose plates contributed to founding modern scientific iconography. Physician, mineralogist, and naturalist, Anselmus Botius de Boodt combines rigorous observation with aesthetic sensibility, inheriting the tradition of late Renaissance and pioneering naturalist catalogs. His plates illustrate a practice where botanical anatomy becomes a visual language: influenced by curiosity cabinets, herbariums, and the earliest mineralogy treatises. The canvas captures this meeting between science and art, offering a reading that is both documentary and contemplative of nature.
