Jasminum officinale, known as the common jasmine or simply jasmine, is a species of flowering plant in the olive family Oleaceae. It is native to the Caucasus and parts of Asia, also widely naturalized.
Biography:
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (10 July 1759 – 19 June 1840), was a painter and botanist from Belgium, known for his watercolours of roses, lilies and other flowers at the Château de Malmaison, many of which were published as large coloured stipple engravings. He was nicknamed "the Raphael of flowers" and has been called the greatest botanical illustrator of all time.
Redouté was an official court artist of Marie Antoinette, and continued painting through the French Revolution and Reign of Terror. He survived the turbulent political upheaval to gain international recognition for his precise renderings of plants, which remain as fresh in the early 21st Century as when first painted. He combined great artistic skills with a pleasing and ingratiating personality which assisted him with his influential patrons. After Queen Marie-Antoinette, his patrons included both of Napoleon's wives – Empress Joséphine and Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma – as well as Maria Amalia of Naples and Sicily, wife of Louis Philippe I, the last king of France.
Redouté collaborated with the greatest botanists of his day and participated in nearly fifty publications depicting both the familiar flowers of the French court and plants from places as distant as Japan, America, South Africa, and Australia. He worked from live plants rather than herbarium specimens, which contributed to his fresh subtle renderings. He was painting during a period in botanical illustration (1798 – 1837) that is noted for the publication of outstanding folio editions with colored plates. Redouté produced over 2,100 published plates depicting over 1,800 different species, many never rendered before. Of the French botanical illustrators employed in the French capital, Redouté is the one who remains in the public consciousness today. He is seen as an important heir to the tradition of the Flemish and Dutch flower painters Brueghel, Ruysch, van Huysum and de Heem.

Antique Botanical Print of Banana Shrub and Starry Wild Jasmine, 1803
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Antique Botanical Print of Banana Shrub and Starry Wild Jasmine, 1803
This title accurately reflects the plant subjects depicted in the illustration: the Banana Shrub (Fig. 1, showing the seed pod) and the Starry Wild Jasmine (Fig. 2, showing the flower in bloom).
This antique engraving from April 23, 1803, beautifully illustrates two botanical figures, emphasizing the natural beauty and complexity of plant life. Here's what makes these illustrations unique and special:
1. Botanical Detail: Fig. 1 shows a plant section with a dark, almost wilted appearance, possibly representing the fruiting body or a seed pod, which contrasts with the lively and vibrant Fig. 2, depicting a flower in bloom. This juxtaposition captures both the end and the beginning of life cycles in the plant kingdom, showcasing the botanical accuracy and attention to detail that was essential in early scientific illustrations.
2. Artistic Technique: The illustration is a fine example of handcolored copperplate engraving, a method that requires exceptional skill. This technique allows for precise details and subtle gradations of color, qualities that make antique botanical prints highly valued by collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
3. Historical and Educational Value: Published by W. Curtis at St. George Crescent in 1803, this work is part of a larger series that aimed to educate and inform about the diversity of plant species. Such prints are crucial for understanding how plants were studied and classified in the early 19th century, providing insight into the history of botany and scientific illustration.
4. Collectibility: Due to their age, artistic merit, and the detailed craftsmanship, prints like these are sought after by collectors of antique botanical art...
