The Hortus is a haven within the city centre, a historical monument and a meeting place full of character. People come here to relax, enjoy the seasons or to learn more about the diversity of the plant kingdom. In 1590 the Hortus was founded by the University of Leiden. In 1594 Carolus Clusius (1526-1609) turned it into a medicinal herb garden. But Clusius introduced the tulip and many other plants like tobacco and potato the Hortus. These flowers and plants became known throughout Western Europe Many famous international scientists such as Clusius, Boerhaave, Linnaeus and Einstein were connected to the Hortus botanicus in Leiden. In the 19th century the German physician Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866) brought hundreds of plant species with him from Japan to the Netherlands and 15 of these original introductions can still be found in the Hortus today. 21 The purpose of a botanical illustration is primarily a scientific accurate drawing, the artistic input is reflected in the sensitivity in which the subject is displayed and in the composition.

Rotterdam/Delfshaven Exhibitions, workshops and events bring these exceptional collections to life. Leiden, the city where Rembrandt was born Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn remains the most famous artist of the Dutch Golden Age. It was in Leiden, his birthplace on July 15th 1606, that he fi rst started drawing, sketching and painting, and where he produced his fi rst masterpieces, where he developed most of his skills. Here, in the Golden Age, is where he stood out. It was the place where someone with ambition like Rembrandt should have been. There are still many remains from that Golden Age period like the Rapenburg mansions, St. Peter’s church and the 35 beguinages in the old town. In 2019, 350 years a er his death, we celebrate Rembrandt and his work in Leiden.

  • Western Botanical Gardens: History and Evolution
    5 Western Botanical Gardens: History and Evolution Donald A. Rakow Section of Horticulture School of Integrative Plant Science Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Ithaca, NY USA Sharon A. Lee Sharon Lee and Associates Swarthmore, PA USA ABSTRACT Dedicated to promoting an understanding of plants and their importance, the modern Western botanical garden addresses this mission through the establish- ment of educational programs, display and interpretation of collections, and research initiatives. The basic design and roles of the contemporary institution, however, can be traced to ancient Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome, where important elements emerged that would evolve over the centuries: the garden as walled and protected sanctuary, the garden as an organized space, and plants as agents of healing. In the Middle Ages, those concepts expanded to become the hortus conclusus, the walled monastery gardens where medicinal plants were grown. With intellectual curiosity at its zenith in the Renaissance, plants became subjects to be studied and shared. In the 16th and 17th centuries, botanical gardens in western Europe were teaching laboratories for university students studying medicine, botany, and what is now termed pharmacology. The need to teach students how to distinguish between medicinally active plants and poisonous plants led the first professor of botany in Europe, Francesco Bonafede, to propose the creation of the Orto botanico in Padua. Its initial curator was among the first to take plant collecting trips throughout Europe. Not to be Horticultural Reviews, Volume 43, First Edition. Edited by Jules Janick. 2015 Wiley-Blackwell.
