Painting Description
"Hemerocalle Bleue, Planche De La Serie Les Liliacees" is a notable botanical illustration created by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was a preeminent botanical illustrator of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His work is celebrated for its scientific accuracy and artistic beauty, bridging the gap between art and science during a period when botanical illustration was crucial for the study and classification of plants.
This particular illustration, "Hemerocalle Bleue," is part of Redouté's seminal series "Les Liliacées," which was published between 1802 and 1816. The series comprises over 500 plates and is dedicated to the Liliaceae family, a diverse group of flowering plants. "Les Liliacées" was commissioned by the Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was an avid patron of the arts and sciences. The series was intended to document the extensive collection of plants in her gardens at Malmaison, which included many exotic species.
Redouté's illustrations are distinguished by their meticulous detail and vibrant coloration, achieved through the use of stipple engraving, a technique that allows for subtle gradations of color and fine detail. Each plate in "Les Liliacées" was hand-colored, making every copy a unique work of art. "Hemerocalle Bleue" exemplifies Redouté's skill in capturing the delicate structure and vivid hues of the daylily, a plant known for its ephemeral beauty, with each flower typically lasting only a single day.
The significance of "Hemerocalle Bleue" and the entire "Les Liliacées" series extends beyond their aesthetic appeal; they are also valuable scientific documents. Redouté's work provided botanists with accurate visual references that were essential for the identification and classification of plant species during a time when photography was not yet available. Today, these illustrations remain highly regarded both for their artistic merit and their contribution to botanical science.
