Jean Baptiste Monnoyer - Gebonden boeket

This large AI-assisted collection comprises about 60,000 images of botanical drawings and illustrations. It spans from the 14th to 19th century. As of today, we estimate the total number of botanical illustrations in our archive as 200,000 and growing. The "golden age" of botanical illustration is generally considered to be the 18th and 19th centuries, a time when there was a great deal of interest in botany and a proliferation of botanical illustrations being produced. During this period, many of the great botanical illustrators of the time, such as Maria Sybilla Merian, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and John James Audubon, were active and produced some of the most iconic and influential botanical illustrations of all time. In addition to being used for scientific purposes, botanical illustrations were also highly prized for their beauty and were often used to decorate homes and other public spaces. Many of the most famous botanical illustrations from this period are still admired and collected today for their beauty and historical significance. All large Picryl collections were made possible with the development of neural image recognition. We made our best to reduce false-positive image recognition to under 5%.

Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer was a French painter who specialised in still lifes and flowers. He was born in Lille, France in 1636 and moved to Paris to study art under Jacques Blanchard. Monnoyer quickly gained recognition for his talent and was appointed official painter to the court of Louis XIV in 1660. Monnoyer's work was highly sought after by the rich and powerful and he received numerous commissions from royalty and aristocrats. His paintings were characterised by vibrant colours, intricate detail and realistic depictions of flowers, fruit and other objects. In addition to his still life paintings, Monnoyer also created murals and decorations for some of the most prestigious buildings in France, including the Palace of Versailles and the Tuileries Palace. He was also a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, which further cemented his reputation as one of the leading artists of his time. Monnoyer continued to paint until his death in 1699, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful and timeless works of art. Today, his paintings can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
