Les Roses (1817-1824) (1817-1824) by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté's "Les Roses" (1817-1824) stands as a crowning achievement in the realm of botanical illustration, capturing the ephemeral beauty of roses with unparalleled precision and grace. Redouté, often hailed as the "Raphael of flowers," was a master of his craft, whose life spanned the tumultuous period of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in France. Born in 1759 in what is now Belgium, Redouté moved to Paris, where he navigated the shifting tides of political upheaval while remaining steadfast in his dedication to botanical art.

Redouté's style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a delicate touch, employing watercolor on vellum to achieve a luminous quality that breathes life into his subjects. His philosophical approach was rooted in the Enlightenment ideals of observation and classification, seeking to convey the inherent beauty and diversity of the natural world. In "Les Roses," Redouté meticulously documented over 170 varieties of roses, blending scientific accuracy with artistic elegance.

This work belongs to the genre of botanical illustration, with each plate serving as both a scientific document and a work of art. Redouté's techniques, including stippling and layering of colors, create a depth and realism that were revolutionary for his time. The significance of "Les Roses" lies in its enduring influence on both art and science, cementing Redouté's legacy as a pivotal figure in botanical illustration. The original plates of "Les Roses" are cherished by institutions and collectors worldwide, with some housed in esteemed collections such as the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in Pittsburgh.
