Ellen Browning Scripps, a prominent San Diego philanthropist with an interest in natural history, commissioned Valentien to take on a monumental task-the painting of all the wildflowers or plants of California. He began work in 1908, and for the next ten years traveled all over the state, from the Mexican border, to the northern California coast, collecting in chaparral, desert, and mountains, by rivers, in canyons, and along the beaches and salt marshes. California at this time offered an unspoiled wealth of incredibly diverse plants and animals for an artist to study and depict. Valentien always painted from fresh specimens, and by 1918 had completed 1094 sheets that depicted 1500 species altogether. Although he had initially focused on the wildflowers, he enlarged his scope to include trees, grasses, and ferns as well. His exquisite paintings were botanically accurate and meticulous in their execution, yet breathtakingly vibrant and full of spontaneity.

Valentien (1862~ 1925) accepted a commission from San Diego philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps to paint a series of California wildflowers. What began as an ambitious project soon became his life's passion, as he spent the next ten years traveling throughout the state, diligently painting every specimen of California plant and wildflower that could be gathered. While Valentien was not trained as a botanist, his illustrations display remarkable accuracy and detail as well as a wonderful sense of freshness and spontaneity. He strived for veracity in representation, never attempting to "prettify" a specimen. In all, he completed 1,094 delicate watercolors, covering nearly 1,500 species of California flora~including many plants that are now extremely rare. The Valentien watercolor collection has been a treasured part of the San Diego Natural History Museum's holdings since 1933, when they were donated to the Museum Library by the Scripps estate. In 2000, thanks to the commitment and generosity of Eleanor and Jerome Navarra, the Valentien Project~which entailed photographing, conserving, cataloging, and eventually exhibiting the collection~began. Plant Portraits marks the first time that Valentien's crowning achievement, begun more than 95 years ago, has been realized in print. The San Diego Natural History Museum is proud to join with The Irvine Museum in presenting these vibrant illustrations from Valentien's incomparable flora of California series.
