Riga 1:
Le illustrazioni botaniche rappresenta forma, colore, e dettagli delle specie vegetali, è spesso realizzata con disegno al tratto o ad acquerello. Sono le rappresentazioni che illustrano e accompagnano la descrizione botanica in libri, riviste e altre pubblicazioni. La realizzazione di illustrazioni botaniche richiede la comprensione dell'anatomia vegetale, l'accesso agli esemplari e alla documentazione relativi, e, spesso, la consulenza di un autore scientifico.
==History==
<!--
The early herbals and [[pharmacopoeia]] of many cultures have included the depiction of plants. This was intended to assist identification of a species, usually with some medicinal purpose. The problem of accurately describing plants between regions and languages, before the introduction of [[taxonomy]], were potentially hazardous to medicinal preparations. The low quality of printing of early works sometimes presents difficulties in identifying the species depicted.
When systems of [[botanical nomenclature]] began to be published, the need for a drawing or painting became optional. However, it was at this time that the profession of [[botanical illustrator]] began to emerge. The eighteenth century saw many advances in the printing processes, and the illustrations became more accurate in colour and detail. The increasing interest of amateur botanists, gardeners, and natural historians provided a market for botanical publications; the illustrations increased the appeal and accessibility of these to the general reader.
The field guides, [[Flora]]s, catalogues and magazines produced since this time have continued to include illustrations. The development of photographic plates has not made illustration obsolete, despite the improvements in reproducing photographs in printed materials. A botanical illustrator is able to create a compromise of accuracy, an idealized image from several specimens, and the inclusion of the face and reverse of the features such as leaves. Additionally, details of sections can be given at a magnified scale and included around the margins around the image.
Botanical illustration is a feature of many notable books on plants, a list of these would include:
*[[Vienna Dioscurides]]
*''[[Flora Graeca]]''
*''[[The Banksias]]''
*[[Curtis's Botanical Magazine]]
