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

This print by Johann Hogenberg, created between 1600 and 1605, is one of a series depicting a variety of flora and fauna. The work depicts a deer, two carnations, and a melon, with the Latin names for the plants labeled in the upper right and left corners of the image. The print exemplifies the style of naturalism popular in the Renaissance, with its emphasis on accurate observation and detailed representation of natural forms. The print's small size is typical of the period, suggesting it was intended for personal viewing or as part of a larger collection of natural history illustrations.
