Botanical art
Botanical art is a specialized form of illustration that depicts plants with scientific accuracy and artistic skill. Its purpose is to accurately represent the details of different plant species, including their structure, color, and texture, often for research, conservation, or educational use. Unlike purely artistic works, botanical art emphasizes precise observation and detailed rendering, helping botanists and horticulturists identify and study plants. While it values accuracy, it also highlights the natural beauty of plants, combining science with artistry to produce visually appealing and informative images.
