Cabbage Rose, also known as Rosebush with Lettuce Leaves (Rosa centifolia bullata) from Les Roses (1817-1824) by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Printed on a Classic Unisex Pullover Hoodie

Pierre-Joseph Redouté's "Cabbage Rose," also known as "Rosebush with Lettuce Leaves (Rosa centifolia bullata)," is a stunning botanical illustration from his renowned series "Les Roses" (1817-1824). Redouté, often hailed as the "Raphael of flowers," was a preeminent botanical artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in 1759 in what is now Belgium, Redouté moved to Paris, where he became a favored artist at the court of Marie Antoinette and later served as the official court artist for Empress Joséphine Bonaparte.

Redouté's work is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, achieved through his masterful use of stipple engraving and watercolor. His illustrations transcend mere scientific documentation, capturing the ethereal beauty of his floral subjects. The "Cabbage Rose" exemplifies his ability to marry scientific precision with artistic elegance, showcasing the lush texture and delicate hues of the rose petals and leaves.

Redouté's philosophical approach was rooted in the Enlightenment's emphasis on observation and classification, yet his work also embodies a Romantic sensibility, celebrating nature's beauty and diversity. Through "Cabbage Rose," Redouté invites viewers to appreciate the intricate complexity of the natural world.

This piece holds significant importance in the art world as a quintessential example of botanical art, influencing both scientific illustration and decorative arts. The original "Cabbage Rose" illustration is currently held in the collection of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, where it continues to inspire and educate.
