Botanical Precision: Pancratium wall art print | By Print Room Ltd

Botanical Precision: Pancratium (American Narcissus)

Artist: Georg Dionysius Ehret

Nationality: German

Date: Circa 1752

Exhibition: The Met Fifth Avenue, Gallery 690

"Botanical Precision: Pancratium (American Narcissus)" is an exquisite example of Georg Dionysius Ehret's work, a German artist renowned for his contributions to botanical art. Created around 1752, this piece is currently on display at The Met Fifth Avenue, a testament to Ehret's legacy and his influence on botanical illustration.

Having settled in London in 1738, Ehret's artistry blossomed, leading to a new standard of botanical accuracy that would become the hallmark of his style. His drawings, later transformed into engravings, were widely published, earning him a fellowship at the Royal Society in 1757.

This particular artwork exhibits Ehret's mature style with its compelling contrast of the Pancratium, also known as the American narcissus, against a pure white background. The intentional placement accentuates the plant's elegant form and intricate details, particularly the stamens and pistils which Ehret meticulously depicted, reflecting his knowledge of plant anatomy gained from Dr. Christoph Joseph Trew, a distinguished physician and botanist from Nuremberg.

The stencilled title on the lower left hints that this drawing was part of a series, possibly intended for educational or scholarly pursuits. "Botanical Precision: Pancratium (American Narcissus)" is not only a celebration of Ehret's skill but also a piece of botanical history, capturing the essence of 18th-century scientific exploration and artistic expression. It is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of botanical art, offering a glimpse into the intersection of science and aesthetics that defines the beauty of natural history illustration.

Sizes Available

Largest to smallest:

•              Square sizes: 70x70 cm (28x28”), 50x50 cm (20x20”), 30x30 cm (12x12”).

•              Rectangular sizes: 70x100 cm (28x40”), 50x70 cm (20x28”), 29x42 cm (12x17”).

Please note: The sizes listed refer to the print area only.

               •              Framed prints will be larger due to the added width and height of the frame.

               •              Mounted and framed prints will be larger again, as the mount adds extra space around the artwork and requires a larger frame.

               •              If you choose a print-only option (no frame), we include a small white border around the artwork. This makes it easier to trim or position during framing — ideal if you’re using your own frame or taking it to a framer.

• Print-Only: Rolled and wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, shipped in a heavy-duty tube.
