Nature Illustration - Hoefnagel's Medieval illumination of a manuscript - a dragonfly, pear, carnation, and insect Our dragonfly image is based on a dragonfly illustration from the medieval manuscript, "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or "Model book of Calligraphy", this vintage dragonfly and pear image shows a beautifully drawn dragonfly, with its wings fully open, and in the background are a pear, carnation, and a small insect. The dragofly illustration was created by medieval nature illustrator Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish and Hungarian, Austria) in the late 1500s. Hoefnagel's illuminations showing botanical fruit and insects were what Hoefnagel was known for painting. He rendered his botanicals and insects with botanical precision, unlike other nature artists of his day. Our dragonfly and pear illustration looks great on our gifts. The dragonfly and pear are wonderful gifts for someone who loves dragonflies and beautiful art.
