Iris pallida, from "Les Liliacees" (1812), is a botanical illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, a renowned painter and botanist known for his watercolors of flowers. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was particularly celebrated for his detailed and vivid depictions of plants, which combined scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. "Les Liliacees" is one of his most significant works, an eight-volume series that contains over 400 illustrations of lilies and other flowers in the Liliaceae family.

The illustration of Iris pallida is a testament to Redouté's mastery of botanical art, capturing the delicate structure and subtle color gradations of this perennial plant, which is native to the Dalmatian coast but has been widely cultivated for its ornamental value and for the extraction of orris root. The image features the pale lavender flowers of the iris, with their characteristic three large petal-like sepals known as falls, and three upright petals called standards, as well as the plant's long, sword-shaped leaves.

Redouté's work was highly influential in both art and science, as it provided one of the most comprehensive and aesthetically pleasing records of botanical species during a time when such documentation was crucial for scientific study and classification. His illustrations were often based on specimens from the Jardin des Plantes in Paris and were used as a reference by botanists and horticulturists. The Iris pallida illustration, like others in "Les Liliacees," reflects the collaboration between art and science during the Age of Enlightenment and continues to be appreciated for its beauty and botanical significance.
