---++ Botanical Art Before cameras, there was botanical art. Early herbals were noted for their woodcuts. Later etchings and lithographs created more detailed prints. At their best botanical representations often were better for identification than photos. The artist had the control to make sure key characters were displayed. We may look at some of the early woodcuts and wonder how people identified plants based upon the stylized representations but when botanical art reached its prime plants were depicted extremely accurately. This was no small task since artists were often presented with flowers that were about to wilt or worse had been pressed between sheets of paper. But for the most part the images they created would make it easy to identify the plant. %YELLOWBG% ---++++Classic Botanical Art %TABLE{ sort="on" tableborder="5" cellpadding="14" cellspacing="0" cellborder="5" headerbg="#3ee277" headercolor="#666666" databg="#c2df78, #a7d03d" headerrows="2" footerrows="1" }% |[[GalleryOfPlatesBotMag][Curtis's Botanical Magazine]]<br />Gallery, 104 plates<br />1787 to present<br /><img align="bottom" alt="Iris alberti" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1787BotMagIrisPersica1/Persica_Bot_Mag_1.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" />| [[RedouteGalleryOfIris][Redoute's Les Liliaceae]]<br />Gallery, 39 plates<br>1805-1816<br /><img align="bottom" alt="Iris susiana" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1805LesLiliaceaeIrisSusiana/Iris_susiana.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" />| [[ArtInGartenflora][Gartenflora ]]<br />Gallery, 9 plates<br />1872-1880<br /><img align="bottom" alt="Iris Iberica" height="250" hspace="4" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1872GartenfloraIrisIbericaTable713/gartenfloraIbericaT713.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" /> | |[[Hist.GalleryOfPlatesInDykes][Gallery of Plates In Dykes]]<br />48 plates<br />1914<br /><img align="center" alt="Iris sibirica" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/GalleryOfPlatesInDykes/Sibirica.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" /> |[[Hist.GalleryOfArtInAddisonia][Gallery of Plates In Addisonia]]<br />25 plates<br />1924<br /><img align="center" alt="Iris carolina" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1924AddisoniaIrisCarolina/carolina_Addisonia_.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" />| [[Hist.GalleryOfArtFromTheGarden][Gallery of Art from The Garden]]<br />10 plates<br />1924<br /><img align="center" alt="Iris Leitlinii" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1897TheGardIllIrisLeichtlinii/Stolonifera_The_Garden_1897_v52_p222.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" /> | ---++++Primitive Botanical Art Early Botanical Art had limited tools such as the woodcuts of early herbals,...(under construction) %TABLE{ sort="on" tableborder="5" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="30" cellborder="0" headerbg="#3ee277" headercolor="#666666" databg="#c2df78, #a7d03d" headerrows="2" footerrows="1" }% | [[Hist.Info1597GerardesHerbal][Gallery of Plates In Gerarde's Herbal]]<br />1597<br /><img align="center" alt="Iris biflora" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1597GerardesHerbal/Gerardes_Herbal_page_49a.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" />| |[[Hist.GalleryOfArtFromReichenbachsIcones][Gallery of Plates In Reichenbach's Icones]]<br />1837-1838<br /><img align="center" alt="Iris arenaria" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Info1837ReichenbachIconesIrisArenaria/arenaria_R_Icones_cccxxx.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" /> | | ---++++Contemporary Botanical Art Todays Artists are invited to display their work in a gallery below .%TABLE{ sort="on" tableborder="5" cellpadding="14" cellspacing="0" cellborder="5" headerbg="#3ee277" headercolor="#666666" databg="#c2df78, #a7d03d" headerrows="2" footerrows="1" }% | [[Hist.GalleryOfWittArt][Jean Witt Gallery]]<br />2015<br /><img align="center" alt="empty gallery" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/Witt01Image/missouriensis001sm.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" /> | [[Hist.GalleryOfPriesLineDrawings][Pries Gallery]]<br />2015<br /><img align="center" alt="Pries gallery" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/PriesDrawingAntilibanotica/antilibanotica_drawing.jpg" vspace="4" width="200" /> | [[Hist.GalleryAwaitingImages][Vacant Gallery awaiting images]]<br />2015<br /><img align="center" alt="empty gallery, display your work!" height="250" src="%PUBURL%//Hist/.jpg" vspace="4" width="160" />| | | | [[Main/InfoGettyArt][Getty Museum Art]] %ENDBG% For more information on historic Irises visit the Historic Iris Preservation Society at -- Main.BobPries - 2014-11-26
