+            <p>The Botanical Illustrations dataset consists of data which was digitized by the ÖNB in 2015 and joined to a ÖNB Digital collection in 2020. It is publicly available as open data since 2023. All in all, the dataset consists of 1855 images of botanical illustrations, mostly using the gouache technique, from the 19th century and their adjacent metadata. </p>

+            <p>The illustrations were painted by Johann Jebmayer (1770-1858), Matthias Schmutzer (1751-1824) and Leopold Brunner (1788-1866), artists who were commissioned by the Habsburgian emperor Franz I. and his successor Ferdinand I.</p>

+            <p>A new role emerged: Court Botanical Painter. Emperor Franz II established the position of Court Botanical Painter to capture the plant and animal life of the imperial gardens in large-scale watercolors.</p>
+            <br>
+            <p>The goal was to paint the various plants in the botanical garden behind the Hofburg. The garden was commissioned by emperor Franz I./II. and is nowadays known as the Burggarten.</p>
