Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770) was a German-born artist who initially worked as a journeyman-gardener. He spent his early career travelling and working across Europe prior to working closely with Carl Linnaeus at the time the latter was developing his system of binomial nomenclature - and illustrated his findings. He moved to England in 1736 and became much sought after by premier botanists and collectors to record their rare plants. By 1750 he was the leading botanical artist in Europe. He is regarded as one of the best botanical artists of his day - if not the best. One special claim to fame is that he worked early on with Carl Linnaeus at the time Linnaeus was developing his work on classification and binomial naming. His style of botanical art - still in use today - is referred to as the Linnaean style. Georg Dionysius Ehret illustrated many of spectacular plants for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. In particular, he illustrated the exotic plants, which had recently arrived in Europe and which appeared strange to English eyes. He was also able to access the collections of the exotic plants collected by wealthy plant enthusiasts and drew the unusual plants that grew in their hothouses. His work appeared in a variety of publications on the rare and exotic plants, most notably the Plantae Selectae (1750-73).
