Tulipa oculus-solis, commonly known as the "Eye of the Sun" tulip, is a botanical illustration by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, featured in his work "Les Liliacées" which is often referred to as "Tulipe des Jardins" in various contexts. Redouté (1759–1840), known as the "Raphael of flowers," was a court artist for Queen Marie Antoinette and later gained fame for his precise renderings of plants, which combined scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. His contributions to botanical art are considered some of the most significant in the field, with his illustrations often serving as a bridge between art and science.

The illustration of Tulipa oculus-solis is a striking example of Redouté's mastery in capturing the delicate details of flowers. The work is characterized by its vivid coloration and the lifelike depiction of the tulip's form and texture. As with many of Redouté's illustrations, this image would have been based on a living plant specimen, reflecting the artist's dedication to portraying the natural beauty and botanical intricacies of his subjects.

Redouté's "Les Liliacées" is an eight-volume collection published between 1802 and 1816, containing over 400 watercolor illustrations of lilies and related flowers. Tulipa oculus-solis is one of the many tulip varieties illustrated in this collection. The publication was highly regarded for its scientific importance and artistic value, contributing to Redouté's reputation as one of the most accomplished botanical illustrators of his time.

Tulipa oculus-solis, like other works by Redouté, is not only a piece of art but also an important historical document. It reflects the fascination with botany and the desire to catalog the natural world that was prevalent during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Redouté's illustrations are still appreciated for their beauty and are studied for their botanical significance, providing insight into the plants that were cultivated and cherished during his lifetime.
