Painting Description
Narcissus Lazetta is an illustration by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, featured in his work "Trew Plantae Selectae," which is a collection of botanical illustrations commissioned by Christoph Jakob Trew. Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840), often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was a painter and botanist from the Southern Netherlands, known for his watercolors of roses, lilies, and other flowers at Malmaison, many of which were published as large, color-plate books.
The illustration Narcissus Lazetta depicts a variety of narcissus, a genus of predominantly spring perennial plants in the Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis) family. Redouté's work is characterized by its attention to detail and scientific accuracy, combined with artistic elegance, making his illustrations highly valuable both for their aesthetic appeal and botanical significance.
"Trew Plantae Selectae," published in the 18th century, is a testament to the collaboration between Redouté and Trew, a German physician, botanist, and publisher. Trew's passion for botany and Redouté's artistic skill culminated in a series of volumes that were not only scientifically important but also represented a high point in the art of botanical illustration.
Narcissus Lazetta, like other illustrations by Redouté, would have been created using a stipple engraving technique, which involves engraving an image onto a copper plate by making small dots rather than lines. This technique allowed for subtle gradations of tone and color when the image was printed and hand-colored, a process that contributed to the lifelike quality of Redouté's botanical representations.
As an important piece within "Trew Plantae Selectae," Narcissus Lazetta reflects the Enlightenment's burgeoning interest in the natural world and the desire to catalog and understand it through scientific and artistic means. Redouté's illustrations continue to be celebrated for their beauty and precision, and they remain influential in the fields of botany and botanical art.
