"Iris Pseudacorus," also known as the Yellow Iris or Yellow Flag, is a botanical illustration by the renowned artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, featured in his seminal work "Les Liliacées." Published between 1802 and 1816, "Les Liliacées" is a monumental collection of botanical illustrations that showcases the beauty and diversity of the Liliaceae family and other related plants. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was a master of botanical art, and his works are celebrated for their scientific accuracy and artistic elegance.

The illustration of Iris Pseudacorus captures the plant in exquisite detail, highlighting its distinctive bright yellow flowers and sword-like leaves. Native to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, Iris Pseudacorus thrives in wetland areas and is often found along the edges of ponds, rivers, and marshes. The plant is notable for its striking appearance and its ability to grow in waterlogged conditions, making it a popular choice for ornamental water gardens.

Redouté's depiction of Iris Pseudacorus is not only a work of art but also a valuable scientific document. Each illustration in "Les Liliacées" was created with meticulous attention to detail, often based on live specimens, which allowed Redouté to capture the true essence of the plants he portrayed. His work was highly regarded by contemporary botanists and remains a crucial reference for modern botanical studies.

"Les Liliacées" was commissioned by Empress Joséphine Bonaparte, an avid plant collector and patron of the arts, who sought to document the extensive collection of plants at her estate, Malmaison. Redouté's illustrations, including that of Iris Pseudacorus, played a significant role in advancing botanical knowledge and appreciation during the early 19th century.

Today, Redouté's illustrations continue to be admired for their beauty and precision. The image of Iris Pseudacorus stands as a testament to his skill and dedication, bridging the gap between art and science and preserving the natural beauty of this striking plant for future generations.
