Synopsis
First published in parts between 1817 and 1824, this collection of 167 botanical prints was intended as a scientific treatise. Produced in collaboration with the botanist Claude-Antoine Thory, it achieved early fame for the beauty of the illustrations which show the glory and infinite variety of the rose. Pierre-Joseph Redoute was known in his time as "the Raphael of flowers". He was fortunate in his patronage, enjoying the favours of Queen Marie-Antoinette and the Empress Josephine, whose gardens at Malmaison inspired Redoute, though she did not live to see her protege's great work. The stipple-engraving of the original plates was a process that Redoute learnt in England in 1786 was perfectly matched to the delicacy and accuracy of the original paintings.

Dust wrapper over red boards with gilt titles to the spine; Measures 14¾" x 11" (3.1 kg); pp 0; Includes: Colour plates; Colour frontispiece; From the cover: "Pierre-Joseph Redoute, known in his time as the Raphael of Flowers, was born in 1759 in the Ardennes region of what was then a part of the Netherlands, became a part of France in his lifetime, and is now Belgium. He came from an artistic family and began his working life as a religious artist, travelling around the north of Europe decorating various churches, and it was while he was in Holland on one of these commissions that he first encountered the flower paintings of Jan van Huysum (1682-1749), and this was to be a crucial turning-point in his career.Unable to make a reasonable enough living with his church decorative work, Redoute found himself in the employment of his brother Antoine at his Paris studio, painting theatre stage sets, but he continued to develop his new-found passion for flowers, and came to the notice of van Spaedonck and L'Heritier, two renowned botanical artists of the day, who decided to take Redoute into their patronage. He was invited to London, where he learned a great deal, and on his return to Paris he was appointed as personal tutor to Queen Marie-Antoinette, and Master Draughtsman to the Queen's Court.In 1817 he began the publication of this now famous work, issued in sections between 1817 and 1824, and entitled simply Les Roses. Although ostensibly intended as a scientific treatise, produced in collaboration with the botanist Claude-Antoine Thory, it achieved its fame for the sheer beauty of the illustrations, of which there are over one hundred and fifty, showing the glory and seemingly infinite variety of this legendary flower.Pierre-Joseph Redoute lived a long and active life, and his death at the age of 81 was surely no other than he could have wished for: he died in the midst of a lecture he was giving at the Jardin des Plantes, in 1840." || The book is on the shelf, ready to be appropriately packed, and posted from the pastoral paradise of Peasedown St. John, Bath, by a real bookseller in a real book shop - with my personal guarantee and beady eye on the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
