Butterfly Walnut Flower Cherry Watercolor Art Schlüsselanhänger

Old Watercolor Butterfly Still Life - This is Hoefnagel's Medieval illumination of a manuscript - a butterfly, walnut, and flower and cherry watercolor sketch Our beautiful butterfly and cherry image is based on a butterfly illustration from the medieval manuscript, "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or "Model book of Calligraphy". This vintage butterfly and walnut image shows a beautifully drawn white butterfly, with its wings closed, sitting on the edge of a beautiful purple flower. Underneath is a walnut and a cherry. The image is beautifully rendered in pen and ink and watercolor. The beautiful butterfly and dark walnut illustration was created by medieval nature illustrator Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish and Hungarian, Austria) in the late 1500s. Hoefnagel's illuminations showing botanicals and insects were what Hoefnagel was known for painting. He rendered his botanicals and insects with precision, unlike other nature artists of his day. Our butterfly and walnut illustration looks great on our gifts. The butterfly, cherry, and walnut are wonderful gifts for someone who loves beautiful vintage images and antique art.
