"Carnation, from De Historia Stirpium" is an illustration featured in the seminal botanical work "De Historia Stirpium Commentarii Insignes" (Notable Commentaries on the History of Plants) by the German physician and botanist Leonhart Fuchs. Published in 1542, this book is renowned for its detailed and accurate descriptions of plants, accompanied by over 500 woodcut illustrations, which are among the earliest and most striking examples of botanical art. The illustration of the Carnation, created by an anonymous artist, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the blend of scientific observation with artistic skill that characterizes the work.

The image of the Carnation is notable for its vivid portrayal of the flower, capturing its distinctive form and coloration, which would have been essential for the identification and study of the plant species. Fuchs's work was groundbreaking in its approach to botanical illustration, as it moved away from the allegorical and often inaccurate depictions of plants that were common in medieval herbals. Instead, it aimed for realism and practical utility, influencing the development of botanical science and illustration in the Renaissance.

The identity of the artists who created the woodcuts for Fuchs's book remains largely unknown, but their contributions were crucial in setting a new standard for botanical imagery. The Carnation illustration, like others in the volume, is characterized by its clarity, aesthetic appeal, and the way it conveys both the beauty and the botanical characteristics of the plant. "De Historia Stirpium" not only served as a reference for botanists and herbalists but also had a lasting impact on the fields of printing, art, and the emerging science of botany in the 16th century.
