Red Cabbage Rose, also known as Bengal eyelet (Rosa indica caryophyllea) from Les Roses (1817-1824) by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Printed on a Classic Unisex Pullover Hoodie

Pierre-Joseph Redouté's "Red Cabbage Rose," also known as Bengal eyelet (Rosa indica caryophyllea), from his seminal work "Les Roses" (1817-1824), stands as a testament to the artist's unparalleled skill in botanical illustration. Redouté, often hailed as the "Raphael of flowers," was a pivotal figure in the art world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in 1759 in what is now Belgium, Redouté moved to Paris, where he became the court artist to Marie Antoinette and later served under Empress Joséphine. His career flourished during a period of intense scientific exploration and classification, which deeply influenced his work.

Renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, Redouté's style combined the precision of a botanist with the sensitivity of an artist. In "Red Cabbage Rose," he captures the delicate beauty and intricate structure of the rose with watercolor on vellum, a technique that allowed for vibrant colors and fine detail. His philosophical approach was rooted in the Enlightenment ideals of observation and classification, aiming to convey the inherent beauty and diversity of the natural world.

The piece exemplifies the genre of botanical art, with its subject matter focusing on the rose's anatomy and elegance. Redouté's work has significant importance as it bridged the gap between art and science, influencing both fields. The original "Les Roses" collection is held in high esteem and can be found in various prestigious institutions, including the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Through his art, Redouté not only celebrated the aesthetics of flowers but also contributed to the scientific documentation of plant species, leaving a lasting legacy in both the art and scientific communities.
