Lilium Candidum, from "Les Liliacées," is a notable illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, a distinguished Belgian artist renowned for his precise and detailed botanical illustrations. Published in 1807, this work is part of an extensive series that showcases Redouté's mastery in capturing the delicate beauty of flowers, specifically lilies in this instance. "Les Liliacées" is a monumental publication that spans eight volumes, produced between 1802 and 1816, and it represents one of Redouté's most ambitious projects, highlighting his contribution to botanical art and science during the early 19th century.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840), often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was celebrated for his ability to blend scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. His work on "Les Liliacées" was commissioned by the French government and enjoyed the patronage of Marie Antoinette and later, Empress Joséphine, reflecting the high esteem in which his work was held. "Lilium Candidum" exemplifies Redouté's technique of stipple engraving, colored a la poupée, which allowed for the subtle gradations of color and detailed textures that make his work so lifelike and admired.

The illustration of Lilium Candidum, commonly known as the Madonna lily, is particularly noteworthy for its depiction of the flower's purity and intricate details, from the striking white petals to the prominent stamens. This image not only serves as a visual feast but also as an important scientific record, contributing to the botanical knowledge of the time. Redouté's work, including "Lilium Candidum," has had a lasting impact on botanical art, influencing both contemporary and future generations of artists and botanists.

In the broader context of botanical illustration and the history of science, "Les Liliacées" and specifically "Lilium Candidum," stand as a testament to the intersection of art, science, and the passion for the natural world during the Age of Enlightenment and beyond. Redouté's legacy, encapsulated in works like "Lilium Candidum," continues to be celebrated for its artistic beauty and scientific significance, making it a cherished piece of botanical history.
