"Icones Plantarum Medicinalium: Eight Plates" is a collection of botanical illustrations by Joseph Jakob Plenk, an 18th-century physician, botanist, and anatomist. Published in the late 1700s, this work is a notable example of the intersection between art and science during the Enlightenment, a period that emphasized empirical evidence and the classification of the natural world. Plenk's illustrations were intended to serve as a visual reference for the medical and scientific community, aiding in the identification and use of medicinal plants.

The "Icones Plantarum Medicinalium" comprises eight plates, each meticulously detailing different plant species with a focus on their medicinal properties. The illustrations are characterized by their accuracy and attention to detail, reflecting Plenk's dedication to both scientific precision and aesthetic quality. These plates were not only valuable to those practicing medicine at the time but also contributed to the broader field of botanical illustration, which was crucial for the study and classification of plants.

Joseph Jakob Plenk's work sits at the confluence of several important trends in the history of science and art: the use of illustration for scientific communication, the development of botany as a discipline, and the widespread interest in natural history. "Icones Plantarum Medicinalium: Eight Plates" remains a significant historical artifact, offering insights into the practices of botanical study and the use of plants in medicine during the 18th century.
