Engraving of tulips<\/strong> from the “Florilegium Amplissimum et Selectissimum<\/em>“, made in 1612<\/strong> by Emanuel Sweerts<\/strong>. Coloured by a later hand. Plate size: 26.7 \u00d7 17 cm.<\/p>\n

Emanuel Sweerts<\/a> (1552\u20131612) was an Amsterdam flower grower who astutely capitalized on the seventeenth century\u2019s great demand for exotic plants. In 1612, at the request of Emperor Rudolf II of the Holy Roman Empire<\/a>, he published an illustrated catalogue of all the plants he could supply: the “Florilegium Amplissimum et Selectissimum<\/em>” \u2014 \u201cin which are presented not only various kinds of the most excellent and never-before-seen flowers, but also numerous rare specimens.\u201d Among them were dozens of tulip varieties, as depicted in this engraving.<\/p>\n

His beautifully rendered bulbs captured the imagination, and the six editions of his book, issued between 1612 and 1647 in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, greatly contributed to the growing enthusiasm that would culminate in the famous Tulip Mania<\/a>. Sweerts\u2019s \u201cvery extensive and most select anthology of flowers\u201d marks the beginning of the professionalization of flower cultivation in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
