As the 17th century progressed, a new passion developed in Europe. It was a time when new worlds were being discovered. Sailors went on expeditions and it was not uncommon for botanists to be on board these voyages of discovery. The return of the ships was eagerly awaited, especially by the upper echelons of society. Botanising was considered good manners and only the most beautiful and exotic plants found a place in the gardens of collectors. At the same time, botanical art developed. Georg Dionysius Ehret learnt the basics of gardening from his father and took his first tentative steps in the direction of drawing. Ehret's talent for painting and his in-depth knowledge of botany made him an exceptional painter.rnbr/br/rnThe young Ehret took small detours to achieve fame, recognition and prosperity. The fortunate circumstance that the many plants and herbs from distant countries had to be catalogued and placed in botanical contexts secured the young painter's livelihood. Ehret delivered commissioned works for pharmacists and proud garden owners, whose lush floral splendour he captured. The collecting fever and the creation of unique gardens had taken hold of England particularly strongly. At the same time in Sweden, the plant researcher Linné was devoting himself to botany. A pinch of luck and the right acquaintances brought Georg Dionysus Ehret to England. The country's leading botanists and collectors quickly became aware of the young German and sought out his paintings. Carl von Linné was in the process of developing his system of binomial nomenclature and Ehret illustrated the discoveries with great attention from the botanical societies. Ehret developed into the most important botanical artist of the 18th century. His style became influential and is still recognised in art today under the term Linnaean style.rnbr/br/rnGeorg Dionysus Ehret took great pleasure in painting plants. The botanical collectors opened their doors and gave Ehret the most beautiful motifs. In return, they received their treasures as paintings. Ehret worked with sketchbooks. His sketches show his great botanical knowledge. The elaborations are works that show the delicate splendour of flowers and seem to have pushed the natural scientist in the artist into the background. Delicate buds and blossoms are complemented by foliage that displays a multifaceted play of colours. Ehret has transformed natural history observations into works of art. Ehret received a special honour with his illustrations of the spectacular plants in the botanical gardens at Kew. Access to the centrepiece of English botany means having arrived. The great botanical artist spent the rest of his life in England and left behind an extensive body of work that still adorns the collections of natural history museums today.
