Pierre-Joseph Redouté's "Burgundy Cabbage Rose, the Hundred-Leaves of Bordeaux (Rosa centifolia burgundiaca)" from his seminal work *Les Roses* (1817-1824) stands as a testament to the artist's unparalleled mastery in botanical illustration. Redouté, often hailed as the "Raphael of flowers," was a Belgian painter and botanist who captured the delicate beauty of flora with scientific precision and artistic grace.

Born in 1759 in the Belgian region of Saint-Hubert, Redouté moved to Paris, where he became the court artist to Queen Marie Antoinette and later served under Empress Joséphine. His career blossomed during a time when botany was gaining prominence, and his illustrations played a crucial role in bridging art and science.

Redouté's style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, a soft, ethereal palette, and a harmonious blend of realism and idealism. In "Burgundy Cabbage Rose," he employs watercolor on vellum, a technique that allows for a luminous and vibrant depiction of the rose's lush petals and intricate structure. The piece exemplifies his philosophical approach of celebrating nature's beauty while providing an accurate botanical record.

This artwork belongs to the genre of botanical illustration, with the subject matter focusing on the intricate elegance of the Rosa centifolia. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to botanical studies and its influence on future generations of botanical artists. The original is currently housed in the collections of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, where it continues to inspire and educate.
