1762
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Plantae Selectae: No. 52 - Ixia is a 1762 by Georg Dionysius Ehret, a Romanticism work, depicting Tulipa, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a detailed picture of an Ixia flower. The artist put a lot of care into drawing the flower's petals and center. The flower is drawn in a way that looks very real, which is interesting because it was made a long time ago. To learn more about this style of flower drawing, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Georg Dionysius Ehret was a German botanist and entomologist known for his botanical illustrations.
