Emanuel Sweert also
Sweertius in some texts (1552–1612) was a Dutch painter
and nurseryman noted for his publication in 1612 at
Frankfurt-am-Main of Florilegium Amplissimum et
Selectissimum.Sweert was born at Zevenbergen and lived in
a period when new plants from across the world were being
introduced to Europe via Dutch, English and French ships.
To meet the burgeoning interest in plants by the public,
nurseries were being established by wealthy merchants in
order to meet the demand. Botanical illustration suddenly
found a new outlet in the production of nursery
catalogues. Sweert prepared his Florilegium as a guide of
his available stock for the Frankfurt Fair of 1612. The
plates, depicting some 560 bulbs and flowers, were from
the Johann Theodore de Bry Florilegium which in turn was
based on that by Pierre Vallet. His attractively depicted
bulbs sparked their popularity, leading to 6 editions of
the work between 1612 and 1647, and a demand which would
later result in "Tulipomania". At the time of the fair
Sweert was in the employ of Emperor Rudolf II as head of
his gardens in Vienna. He borrowed freely from plates that
had been published before, so that many of those that
appeared in the Florilegium had been cultivated in the
gardens of King Henry IV of France at the Louvre. He died
in Amsterdam.
