EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of Dahlia pinnata, also known as the Pinnate Dahlia. Created by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) for his publication "Choix des plus belles fleurs" (The Most Beautiful Flowers) around 1827-33, this painting captures the intricate details of this magnificent flower in its full glory. Dahlia pinnata is a member of the Asteraceae, or composite, family, and is native to Mexico. It is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it is a eudicot, meaning it has two seed leaves or cotyledons, and belongs to the magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. The Pinnate Dahlia is characterized by its large, pinnate leaves, which are divided into numerous leaflets, giving the plant its name. The flower itself is a showstopper, with large, velvety red petals arranged in a distinctive, complex pattern. The central disc flowers are yellow, and the petals are often edged with lighter red or pink. Redoute's illustration masterfully captures the delicate balance of form and color in this flower, making it a true work of art. His precise attention to detail and use of shading and texture bring the Dahlia pinnata to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in all its intricacy. This painting is not only a testament to Redoute's skill as an artist but also to the natural wonder of this remarkable flower.
