'''Magnolia macrophylla, 1811''' 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 representations of plants, which combined scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. His work on ''Magnolia macrophylla'' is part of a larger collection that showcases the beauty and diversity of flowering plants, with a focus on those cultivated in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris and the Malmaison estate, owned by Empress Joséphine, Napoleon Bonaparte's first wife.

The illustration depicts the Bigleaf Magnolia (''Magnolia macrophylla''), a species known for its exceptionally large leaves and flowers, native to the southeastern United States. Redouté's depiction is characterized by its life-like representation and meticulous attention to detail, capturing the grandeur and delicate textures of the magnolia's features. The artwork serves both as a scientific record of the species and as a testament to Redouté's skill in capturing the essence of floral subjects.

Created in 1811, during a period when botanical illustration was of critical importance for the study and classification of plants, Redouté's ''Magnolia macrophylla'' reflects the intersection of art, science, and the growing interest in natural history in the early 19th century. The illustration is likely to have been included in one of Redouté's major publications, such as "Les Liliacées" or "Les Roses," which were instrumental in disseminating knowledge about plants and inspiring appreciation for botanical art.

Today, Redouté's works, including ''Magnolia macrophylla, 1811'', are held in high esteem by both art connoisseurs and botanists. They continue to be appreciated for their historical value, aesthetic appeal, and contribution to botanical sciences. The illustration remains a significant piece within the canon of botanical art and is often referenced in studies related to floriculture, botanical history, and art history.
