Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Albuca flaccida blends botany with art. Published in the second volume of Les Liliacées, c. 1804, Albuca flaccida depicts a plant more commonly known as the flabby-leaved lantern flower, or its original name, Albuca major. Redouté's innovative stipple engraving method captures immense tonal variety within the exotic plant, especially in the green hues of the leaves.
