Dutch artist Joris Hoefnagel was famous for his drawings and engravings of plants and animals. While a court artist for Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II at the end of the 16th century, Hoefnagel illustrated a book of calligraphy that had been painstakingly created years earlier by preeminent calligraphist Georg Bocskay. This incredible, hand painted reproduction captures the beauty and wonder of the original. This unframed piece is created on high grade acid-free paper. Hand painted. Acid-free stock.
