This engraved detailed botanical illustration is from the 18th century, specifically from Johann Weinmann's "Phytanthoza Iconographia," which is a celebrated work in botanical illustration and taxonomy. The Dutch edition, indicates its wide reach and influence across Europe during that period.
This work is significant for its use of color mezzotint engraving, a technique that was quite advanced for its time, offering a rich texture and depth to the illustrations. It's also notable for the contributions of various artists, including Georg Dionysus Ehret, who is renowned for his botanical artistry. The fact that Ehret's work is unacknowledged in this collection reflects the complexities of artistic collaboration and recognition in the period.
Weinmann's collection provided a critical reference for botanists and horticulturists, documenting the flora cultivated in early 18th-century Europe with a level of precision and artistry that was unprecedented. The plates not only served scientific and educational purposes but also inspired decorative arts, influencing designs in ceramics and beyond. This particular print, featuring lilies and possibly other flowers, showcases the intricate detail and delicate coloration that make the "Phytanthoza Iconographia" such a valuable resource for understanding the botanical knowledge and artistic skill of the era.
