Ornithogalum aureum, commonly known as the golden star-of-Bethlehem, is a captivating species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asparagaceae. This species is notable for its striking golden-yellow flowers, which have made it a subject of interest among botanists and horticulturists alike. The plant is native to regions with Mediterranean climates, where it thrives in well-drained soils and full sunlight.

One of the most celebrated depictions of Ornithogalum aureum can be found in "Les Liliacées," a monumental botanical work by the renowned French artist and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Published between 1802 and 1816, "Les Liliacées" is a collection of exquisite illustrations that document various species within the Liliaceae family, although it also includes plants from related families. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," is acclaimed for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the delicate beauty of plants with unparalleled precision.

In "Les Liliacées," Redouté's illustration of Ornithogalum aureum stands out for its vibrant coloration and lifelike representation. The artwork showcases the plant's characteristic star-shaped flowers, which are arranged in a raceme and bloom in a radiant display of yellow hues. Each petal is carefully rendered to highlight the subtle gradations of color and the intricate structure of the flower.

Redouté's work not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as an important scientific document. His illustrations were often accompanied by detailed descriptions and classifications provided by prominent botanists of the time, such as Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle and Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. These collaborations ensured that "Les Liliacées" was both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically valuable, contributing significantly to the field of botany.

Today, "Les Liliacées" remains a treasured reference for botanists, historians, and art enthusiasts. Redouté's depiction of Ornithogalum aureum continues to be admired for its beauty and accuracy, reflecting the enduring legacy of his contributions to botanical illustration.
