"Iris Florentina" is an illustration by the renowned Belgian botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, featured in his work "Les Liliacées," which was published in eight volumes between 1802 and 1816. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was celebrated for his detailed and vivid botanical illustrations. "Les Liliacées" is one of his most significant contributions to botanical art and science, containing over 400 illustrations of lilies and related plants.

The illustration "Iris Florentina" depicts the Florentine iris, also known as Iris germanica var. florentina, a plant known for its delicate, pale blue to lavender flowers and its use in perfumery for the extraction of orris root. Redouté's portrayal of the Florentine iris is both scientifically accurate and artistically exquisite, capturing the elegant form and subtle coloration of the flower with a level of detail that was unparalleled at the time.

Redouté's work, including "Iris Florentina," was highly regarded not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its scientific value. His illustrations were based on live specimens, and he worked closely with leading botanists of his time, which lent his work a level of credibility that made it a valuable resource for botanists and horticulturists. "Les Liliacées" was produced during a period when the classification and study of plants were undergoing significant development, and Redouté's illustrations contributed to the dissemination of botanical knowledge.

Today, "Iris Florentina" and the other illustrations from "Les Liliacées" are considered masterpieces of botanical illustration and are sought after by collectors and institutions. They are also studied for their historical significance in the context of botanical art and the broader history of science.
