One of the most celebrated manuscript illumination artists was Joris Hoefnagel. In the 1590s the
Emperor Rudolf II commissioned Hoefnagel to add his illuminations to the Mira calligraphiae
monumenta, a mid-16th-century manuscript on the art of calligraphy. The page reproduced here is
known as "Damselfly, Carnation, Insect, Caterpillar, Ladybird, English Walnut, and Marine Mollusk".
