Painting Description
Iris Monnieri is a botanical illustration by the renowned French painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté, featured in his work "Les Liliacees," published in 1808. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was celebrated for his detailed and vivid depictions of plants, particularly flowers, which he rendered with exceptional accuracy and artistic finesse. "Les Liliacees" is an extensive collection of botanical illustrations that focuses on the Liliaceae family, a large group of flowering plants known for their striking and often fragrant blooms.
The illustration of Iris Monnieri is a testament to Redouté's mastery in capturing the delicate intricacies of floral subjects. The artwork showcases the Iris Monnieri, a species named after the French botanist Louis-Guillaume Le Monnier. The plant is depicted in its natural elegance, with Redouté's characteristic attention to the fine details of the flower's structure, color, and texture. His use of stippling and delicate watercolor washes brings out the lifelike appearance of the iris, from the velvety petals to the sword-like foliage that is typical of the genus.
Redouté's work, including Iris Monnieri, played a significant role in the field of botanical illustration during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His illustrations were not only works of art but also important scientific records that contributed to the study and classification of plants. "Les Liliacees" was one of Redouté's most important contributions, and it remains a valuable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and art enthusiasts alike. The Iris Monnieri illustration, like others in the series, reflects both the beauty of the natural world and the high point of botanical art during the period.
