About This Design

Butterfly Bee Fruit Insect Illustration Ceramic Ornament

Butterfly Bee Fruit Insect Illustration Ceramic Ornament

Vintage Bee and pear Butterfly Caterpillar illustration from Medieval Manuscript - This illustration is from the manuscript, "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or "Model book of Calligraphy", this vintage insect and fruit illustration shows a bee flying over a vintage pear, which a vintage caterpillar is walking on, and a vintage butterfly is flying next to. It's quite a menagerie of vintage things! The illustration was created by medieval illustrator Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish and Hungarian, Austria) in the late 1500s. From 1561 to 1562, Georg Bocskay, the Croatian-born court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, created the words on the page for the Model Book of Calligraphy in Vienna. The purpose of the book was to demonstrate calligraphy writing styles. Thirty years later, Emperor Rudolph II, Ferdinand's grandson, commissioned Joris Hoefnagel to create illustrations to go along with the calligraphy. Hoefnagel's illuminations included this page, showing fruit and insects; Hoefnagel was known for painting natural objects. Our fruit and insects look great on our gifts. The bee, butterfly, caterpillars, and pear are wonderful gifts for someone who loves medieval art.

Nice quality, many colors to choose from. It’s not easy finding a cute ornament for a marching band tuba player. Quick ship, reasonable price. Turned out fantastic. I included pics, but marked out the name for privacy purposes.

Struggle every year to try to find a yearly ornament for my daughter. This has made my job so easy. Will definitely do this again next year. I am very satisfied with the printing. The colours and detail turned out fabulous.
