Painting Description
"Botanical plate from Plantae Selectae 1750-73" refers to the collection of botanical illustrations that were part of a significant work published between 1750 and 1773, showcasing the artistry of Georg Dionysius Ehret, a renowned German botanical illustrator of the 18th century. The publication, "Plantae Selectae," is a testament to Ehret's mastery in botanical art and his contributions to the field of botany through visual representation.
Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708–1770) was a pivotal figure in botanical illustration, whose work was characterized by its scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. His collaboration with leading botanists of his time, such as Carl Linnaeus and Joseph Banks, allowed him to contribute to the development of botanical nomenclature and classification. "Plantae Selectae" is one of Ehret's most celebrated works, comprising ten volumes with a total of 100 hand-colored, copper-engraved plates. Each plate in the collection is accompanied by a descriptive text, providing both a visual and scholarly resource for the study of plants.
The botanical plates in "Plantae Selectae" feature a variety of plant species, meticulously rendered with attention to detail. Ehret's illustrations were not only scientifically valuable for their precise depiction of plant morphology but also artistically significant, influencing the standards of botanical illustration. The work was produced during a period when the exploration and classification of the natural world were of great interest, and botanical art played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating new discoveries.
Ehret's "Plantae Selectae" is considered a masterpiece of botanical literature and art, and its plates are highly prized by collectors and institutions for their historical and aesthetic value. The collection remains an important reference for botanists, historians of science, and art enthusiasts, reflecting the intersection of art and science in the Enlightenment era.
