Painting Description
"Iris xiphium, engraved by Langlois, from Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs, 1827" is a notable botanical illustration by the renowned French artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers" for his detailed and vibrant depictions of plants. The work is part of Redouté's larger publication, "Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs" (Choice of the Most Beautiful Flowers), which was produced between 1827 and 1833. This particular engraving, created by Langlois, captures the elegance and intricate detail of the Iris xiphium, commonly known as the Spanish iris.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) was a celebrated botanical illustrator whose works were highly sought after by both the scientific community and art collectors. His contributions to botanical art are considered some of the most precise and exquisite representations of plants ever produced. "Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs" is a testament to Redouté's mastery of the stipple engraving technique, where he collaborated with skilled engravers like Langlois to translate his watercolor paintings into prints that could be widely disseminated.
The Iris xiphium engraving is distinguished by its attention to the morphology of the flower, showcasing the characteristic form of the iris with its bold colors and delicate textures. Redouté's ability to convey the beauty and diversity of the floral world is evident in this piece, making it a valuable resource for both botanists and art historians. The publication of "Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs" contributed significantly to the horticultural knowledge of the time and remains an important historical record of botanical illustration.
