"Hibiscus syriacus, engraved by Bessin, from Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs, 1827" is a notable illustration by the French engraver Bessin, featured in the seminal work "Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs" by the renowned botanical illustrator Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Published in 1827, this collection is one of Redouté's most celebrated contributions to botanical art and horticulture, showcasing a selection of the most beautiful flowers known at the time. The illustration of Hibiscus syriacus, commonly known as the Rose of Sharon or Syrian ketmia, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistic mastery that characterizes Redouté's work.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840), often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was a court artist for Queen Marie Antoinette and continued to enjoy royal patronage throughout his career, including under Empress Joséphine. His work is distinguished by its accuracy and beauty, combining scientific precision with aesthetic elegance. The "Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs" is a prime example of his legacy, influencing both artists and botanists.

The engraving of Hibiscus syriacus by Bessin under Redouté's direction captures the delicate form and vibrant color of the flower, reflecting the growing interest in exotic and ornamental plants during the 19th century in Europe. The publication of such works played a crucial role in disseminating botanical knowledge and contributed to the burgeoning field of horticulture. Today, Redouté's illustrations are not only valuable historical documents but also continue to inspire botanical artists and enthusiasts for their timeless beauty and scientific value.
