Plantae et Papiliones rariores: Martynia, 1748. Creator: Georg Dionysius Ehret (German, 1708-1770)
Plantae et Papiliones rariores: Martynia, 1748. Georg Ehret met Carolus Linnaeus in 1736. The dominant botanical artist in the mid-18th century, Ehret settled in England where the nobility clamored to receive his instruction. He commented in his autobiography, " If I could have divided myself into twenty parts I could still have had my hands full." Ehret struck a fine compromise between the artist and the scientist. " While he did not slavishly imitate what he saw, neither did he allow his feeling for the colour and design of flowers distract him from the fundamentals of plant structure, " confirms Wilfrid Blunt, author of The Art of Botanical Illustration. Ehrets crisp forms betray a sureness of touch, vigor of handling, and unerring instinct for design
