Series of Prints with Flowers and Animals in a Landscape c. 1600 - 1605

This is a black and white print from a series depicting flowers and animals in a landscape, created by Johann Hogenberg circa 1600-1605. The print features an apple tree with two birds, one perched on a branch and another on the ground. On the right, a cluster of Viola nigra is depicted in the foreground with a house visible in the distance. The detailed rendering of the plants and birds suggests Hogenberg's interest in natural history and the scientific study of the natural world. This print likely served as a decorative element or a tool for the scientific understanding of flora and fauna during the early modern period.
