Fuchs work was inspired by the Herbarum vivae icones (1530-6) of Brunfels. Fuchs' herbal, however, was conceived on a larger scale than the books of his immediate predecessors. His goal was to reproduce each plant from life, as he stated in his dedication "a picture expresses things more surely & fixes them more deeply in the mind than the bare words of the text...we have not allowed the craftsmen so to indulge their whims as to cause the drawing not to correspond accurately to the truth." <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vriwleqgeBk/Uy6PZsjGdpI/AAAAAAABpy4/Ep90w883QYA/s1600/Leonhart+Fuchs,+De+Historia+Stirpium,+Basel+1542,+Sp+Coll+Hunterian+L.1.13,+Glasgow+University+Library+Page+441+Crocus+sativus+(Saffron).jpg> [] <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vriwleqgeBk/Uy6PZsjGdpI/AAAAAAABpy4/Ep90w883QYA/s1600/Leonhart+Fuchs,+De+Historia+Stirpium,+Basel+1542,+Sp+Coll+Hunterian+L.1.13,+Glasgow+University+Library+Page+441+Crocus+sativus+(Saffron).jpg> Leonhart Fuchs, De Historia Stirpium, Basel 1542, Sp Coll Hunterian L.1.13, Glasgow University Library Page 441 Crocus sativus (Saffron) <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoRhBAQ_AXU/Uy6Pk_1Na_I/AAAAAAABpzA/ZyPlCMyGBH4/s1600/Leonhart+Fuchs,+De+Historia+Stirpium,+Basel+1542,+Sp+Coll+Hunterian+L.1.13,+Glasgow+University+Library+Frontispiece+portrait+of+Fuchshs.jpg> [] <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoRhBAQ_AXU/Uy6Pk_1Na_I/AAAAAAABpzA/ZyPlCMyGBH4/s1600/Leonhart+Fuchs,+De+Historia+Stirpium,+Basel+1542,+Sp+Coll+Hunterian+L.1.13,+Glasgow+University+Library+Frontispiece+portrait+of+Fuchshs.jpg> Leonhart Fuchs, De Historia Stirpium, Basel 1542, Sp Coll Hunterian L.1.13, Glasgow University Library Frontispiece portrait of Fuchs Spring Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:35 AM PDT In the Garden with Dutch-Flemish artist Louis de Caullery (1555-1622) Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:30 AM PDT <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZJuMYKzpWI/Uy6IxNskCJI/AAAAAAABpxk/R7sTic6Hi7E/s1600/Louis+de+Caullery+(Dutch-Flemish+artist,+1555-1622)+A+Celebration+of+Love+in+the+Garden+of+the+Villa+Medici.jpg> [] <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZJuMYKzpWI/Uy6IxNskCJI/AAAAAAABpxk/R7sTic6Hi7E/s1600/Louis+de+Caullery+(Dutch-Flemish+artist,+1555-1622)+A+Celebration+of+Love+in+the+Garden+of+the+Villa+Medici.jpg> Louis de Caullery (Dutch-Flemish artist, 1555-1622) A Celebration of Love in the Garden of the Villa Medici Louis de Caullery (Dutch-Flemish artist, 1555-1622) also known as Luis de Koller, Luis de Kaulleri, Louis de Coulery, specialized in genre, allegory, architecture, & landscape painting. Like many Flemish artists of the period, he had traveled to & worked in Italy. A circle of like-minded artists gathered around him in Antwerp, painting scenes of banquets, balls, carnivals, & other celebrations. These scenes are often set in panoramic landscapes filled with numerous figures engaged in a variety of activities. The architecture & the parterres of the gardens are precisely drawn, often in skillfully telescoped perspective.

Perhaps 300 years earlier. I am guessing 1930s. It seems to have elements that look right for a 16-17C date & elements that say pastiche. Perhaps the garden looks too cartoon-like.
