The "Tulipa Monstrosa Rubra Maior" is a captivating botanical illustration featured in the renowned work "Phythanthoza Iconographica," which was published in Germany between 1737 and 1745 by Johann Wilhelm Weinmann. Weinmann, a German apothecary and botanist, is celebrated for his contributions to botanical literature, and "Phythanthoza Iconographica" stands as a testament to his dedication to the field. This extensive work is notable for its detailed and vibrant illustrations of various plant species, which were groundbreaking at the time for their use of color printing techniques.

The illustration of "Tulipa Monstrosa Rubra Maior" exemplifies the meticulous artistry and scientific precision that characterize Weinmann's publication. The tulip depicted is a striking variety, notable for its large, monstrous form and rich red hue. The term "monstrosa" in its name suggests an unusual or extraordinary appearance, which would have intrigued botanists and horticulturists of the 18th century. The detailed rendering captures the intricate structure of the tulip's petals and leaves, providing valuable visual information that complements the textual descriptions found in the accompanying volumes.

"Phythanthoza Iconographica" is distinguished not only by its artistic merit but also by its scientific accuracy. The illustrations were created using a combination of mezzotint and etching, a technique that allowed for fine detail and subtle gradations of color. This method was relatively innovative for the period and contributed to the high quality and enduring appeal of the work. Weinmann's collaboration with artists such as Georg Dionysius Ehret, who is credited with many of the illustrations, further enhanced the publication's reputation.

The inclusion of "Tulipa Monstrosa Rubra Maior" in "Phythanthoza Iconographica" reflects the 18th-century fascination with tulips, which were highly prized and often the subject of intense horticultural interest. Weinmann's work remains a valuable resource for historians of botany and art, offering insights into the botanical knowledge and artistic practices of the time.
