Painting Description
Hemerocallis fulva, commonly known as the orange daylily, tawny daylily, or tiger daylily, is a perennial plant in the family Hemerocallidaceae. It is notable for its striking orange flowers and has been widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens. The species was beautifully illustrated by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, a renowned botanical illustrator, in his work "Les Liliacees," which was published in eight volumes between 1802 and 1816.
"Les Liliacees" is a monumental series of botanical illustrations that represents one of Redouté's most significant contributions to botanical art and science. The collection includes 486 watercolor paintings of lilies and other flowers within the Liliaceae family and related families. Redouté's meticulous attention to detail and his artistic skill rendered the plants with both scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty, making his work highly valuable to both botanists and art enthusiasts.
The illustration of Hemerocallis fulva lily in "Les Liliacees" is particularly noteworthy for its vivid portrayal of the plant's form and color. Redouté's depiction captures the characteristic features of the species, such as its long, arching leaves and the distinctive trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in summer. The work serves as both a scientific record of the species at the time and a testament to Redouté's mastery of botanical illustration.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) was a Belgian artist known as "the Raphael of flowers" and is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of all time. His work on "Les Liliacees" was commissioned by Empress Joséphine, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, and remains one of the most exquisite and sought-after botanical publications of the early 19th century. The Hemerocallis fulva lily illustration, like the others in the series, reflects Redouté's ability to combine scientific precision with artistic elegance, making it a valuable historical and artistic record for future generations.
