"Magnolia altissima" is a botanical illustration by the renowned German botanical artist Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708–1770). Created in the 18th century, this artwork depicts the Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), a species native to the southeastern United States. Ehret, who is considered one of the most influential botanical illustrators of his time, was known for his detailed and accurate representations of plants, which combined both scientific precision and artistic elegance.

The illustration "Magnolia altissima" is particularly notable for its life-like portrayal of the magnolia's large, creamy-white flowers and glossy, evergreen leaves. Ehret's mastery in capturing the texture and form of botanical subjects is evident in this work. The magnolia's grandeur and the intricate details of its petals and leaves are rendered with a meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of Ehret's style.

Georg Dionysius Ehret's contributions to botanical art were significant during a period of intense interest in natural history and the classification of plants. His illustrations were not only beautiful works of art but also important scientific records that aided botanists in the study and classification of plant species. "Magnolia altissima" exemplifies the fusion of art and science that was central to the Enlightenment era's approach to understanding the natural world.

This particular illustration has been reproduced in various botanical texts and has been admired by both art enthusiasts and botanists for its aesthetic beauty and scientific value. It remains an enduring example of the high level of craftsmanship achieved by botanical artists in the 18th century and continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the fields of both art and botany.
