Georg Dionysius Ehret, born in Germany in 1710, acquired a reputation during his life as one of the foremost botanical painters of his - and perhaps any - age.
Upon the death of Ehret's father, the very young Georg was apprenticed to a gardener for three years. Much of his youth was spent as a gardener, although he spent that time practicing his drawings. Soon, acquired patrons and was earning a living by creating superlative drawings of flora all across Europe, working and traveling in Germany, France, Holland and finally in England, where he settled.
