Janssonius, primarily known for his cartographic work and publishing house in Amsterdam, produced various plates documenting the natural world. This etching demonstrates the period's focus on empirical observation and the systematic classification of flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two clear sections. On the left, the vetch is depicted with its characteristic pinnate leaves and slender, climbing stems. The right side features the yarrow, recognisable by its feathery, fern-like foliage and dense, flat-topped clusters of small flowers. Each specimen is accompanied by labels in Latin, French, English, German, and Italian, reflecting the international scholarly exchange of the era. The lines are clean and deliberate, prioritising clarity and anatomical accuracy over decorative flourish. The artist employs hatching to suggest volume and shadow, providing a sense of three-dimensional form while maintaining a flat, encyclopaedic presentation suitable for study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the intersection of art and early modern science. It functions as a visual record of botanical knowledge, intended for reference rather than aesthetic display. The inclusion of multiple linguistic labels indicates its intended audience of scholars and naturalists across Europe. The work remains a fine example of the technical skill involved in copperplate etching during the Dutch Golden Age, where the demand for accurate visual information drove the production of high-quality scientific imagery. The paper shows the natural ageing expected of a seventeenth-century document, adding to its historical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Janssonius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102041047375,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102043996495,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102044029263,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102044062031,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102044094799,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102044127567,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102044160335,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102044193103,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102044225871,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102044258639,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102044291407,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102044324175,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Wikke-en-duizendblad_Poster_CompositorV1_1791859344773.jpg?v=1791859499","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/wikke-en-duizendblad-johannes-janssonius","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
