Catalogue Note
This work is in part based on the author’s Waare Oeffening der Planten, 1672.
“The plates are as curious as their subjects. They commonly present plants far larger than life, oranges huge as pumpkins, cyclamens with heavy corms floating lightly in mid-air, gentle geraniums grown into giant trees. The effect is obtained through sketching in classical or idyllic or mountainous little landscapes below” (Hunt).
