By contrasting the geometric symmetry of the French Rose and the Pistachio laid out in the center of the page with the more curvilinear, asymmetrical shapes of the calligraphy, Joris Hoefnagel has created a sense of balance in this illumination. These early Hungarian watercolors are stunning and look great in groupings of three, six, nine and twelve. Additional Hoefnagel illuminations are available upon request.
