EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the delicate beauty of the Iris Florentina, captured in exquisite detail by Jacques Fabian Gautier Dagoty. From his renowned collection "Collection des plantes usuelles, curieuses, et etrangeres" published in 1767, this artwork is a testament to Dagoty's mastery as an artist and botanist. The vibrant colors of the iris leap off the page, with its pristine white petals contrasting against lush green leaves. The intricate engravings are enhanced with brushwork and watercolor additions on cream laid paper that has aged gracefully to a warm buff hue over time. Dagoty's dedication to accuracy and scientific observation is evident in every stroke of his brush. This illustration serves not only as a work of art but also as a valuable resource for botanical study. It transports us back to 18th-century France when exploration and discovery were at their peak. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece, we can't help but marvel at nature's wonders and appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship behind capturing its essence on paper. The Iris Florentina stands tall as a symbol of elegance and grace, reminding us of the boundless beauty found within our natural world. Displayed proudly in the Art Institute Chicago's prints and drawings gallery, this piece invites viewers into an enchanting realm where art intersects with science. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Dagoty's legacy lives on through his extraordinary contributions to both artistic expression and botanical knowledge
