Lily & Tomato Midi Unlined Softcover Journal, 176pg, 100GSM by Paperblanks (Mira Botanica)

Summary

The art of still life painting is a celebrated part of Dutch culture, but before still life emerged, there were illustrators who delicately illuminated handwritten manu<\h>scripts with images of flora and fauna to add emotional power to a written work.<\#13><\e><\e>One of the most celebrated practitioners of this style was Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601). 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 Martagon Lily and Tomato.
