Sobre a obra
Ehret was one of the greatest botanical illustrators working in the 18th century. He supplied illustrations for a number of important botanical publications. He was also closely involved in publicising and promoting the binomial system of plant classification that was devised by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus.
The plant depicted is 'Queen of the Night', also known as 'Moon Cereus' (Selenicereus grandiflorus). This painting was reproduced in Plantae Selectae (issued in 10 parts between 1750 and 1773) by the German physician and botanist Dr Christoph Jakob Trew (1695-1769) of Nuremburg, Germany.
