Painting Description
Crinum Erubescens, also known as Crinum Rougeatre, is a botanical illustration created by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté in 1803. This work is part of his celebrated series "Les Liliacées," which is considered one of the most significant contributions to botanical art and science. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was a master of botanical illustration, and his meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill have immortalized many plant species in exquisite watercolor paintings.
"Les Liliacées" was commissioned by Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais, the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was an avid patron of the arts and sciences. The series comprises over 500 plates, each depicting a different species of the Liliaceae family, which includes lilies, tulips, and other flowering plants. Redouté's work was not only artistically remarkable but also scientifically valuable, as it provided accurate and detailed representations of plant morphology.
Crinum Erubescens is one of the many species illustrated in this series. The plant is characterized by its large, trumpet-shaped flowers, which are typically white with a hint of pink or red, giving it the name "erubescens," meaning "blushing" in Latin. Redouté's illustration captures the delicate beauty of the Crinum Erubescens with precision, showcasing the intricate structure of its petals, stamens, and leaves. The illustration is rendered in watercolor, a medium that Redouté mastered to achieve a lifelike representation of the plant's vibrant colors and textures.
Redouté's work on "Les Liliacées" has been highly regarded for its combination of artistic excellence and scientific accuracy. His illustrations have been used by botanists and horticulturists for centuries and continue to be a valuable resource for the study of plant species. The Crinum Erubescens illustration, like many others in the series, exemplifies Redouté's ability to blend art and science, making his work timeless and influential in both fields.
