Phytanthoza iconographia, Vol. 3, plate 662 – Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1742) – Botanical Canvas Print

Published in 1742 in the third volume of Phytanthoza Iconographia, Plate 662 reflects Johann Wilhelm Weinmann’s monumental contribution to eighteenth-century botanical publishing. His multi-volume florilegium was among the most ambitious illustrated herbals of its time, combining precise engraving with rich hand-coloring to document plant life in both scientific and decorative detail.

This plate presents the specimen with clarity and compositional balance, isolating stems, blossoms, and foliage against an open background that allows each structural feature to be studied with ease. The crisp delineation of petals and leaves reveals the Enlightenment emphasis on observation and classification, while the harmonious arrangement preserves the visual elegance characteristic of Weinmann’s work.

As part of one of the era’s most celebrated botanical publications, this illustration stands as a testament to the marriage of scholarship and artistry. It offers a refined example of eighteenth-century natural history, where botanical precision and aesthetic refinement are brought into careful alignment.
