The revered tradition of botanical illustration dates back to the Renaissance. It emerged from the desire to catalog nature in its unpredictable splendor, and the process demanded the most precise and talented of artists.
With a remarkable skill that captured the most intricate subjects in nature, Pierre-Joseph Redouté is widely considered the best painter and engraver of botanical illustration. Working from live plants rather than from the herbarium specimens gave his watercolors unusual subtlety and freshness. He was also an innovator in printing techniques, introducing "stipple-engraving" to France, always striving for greater exactitude in his art. Redouté fortuitously acquired some of the most influential patrons of the time, including Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine Bonaparte, thus ensuring that his work was well-funded and displayed.His impressive collection comprises over 2,000 paintings of plants rendered with great accuracy and strict adherence to nature. In this exquisite edition of Les Roses, Redouté turns his attention to the most romantic, desirable, and evocative flower. Originally published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824, it remains his most famous and celebrated work.

Tapa dura. Etat : New. La venerada tradición de la ilustración botánica se remonta al Renacimiento. Surgió del deseo de catalogar la naturaleza en su esplendor impredecible, y la tarea necesitó de la participación de artistas de talento.Con su extraordinaria habilidad para capturar los temas más intrincados de la naturaleza, Pierre-Joseph Redouté está considerado el mejor pintor y grabador de motivos botánicos. Trabajar con plantas vivas en lugar de los especímenes de herbario proporcionó a sus acuarelas una sutileza y frescura inusuales. También fue un innovador en los métodos de impresión, e introdujo en Francia la técnica de grabado del punteado en busca de una mayor exactitud en su arte. Redouté logró por casualidad el apoyo de algunos de los mecenas más influyentes de la época, incluidas María Antonieta y la emperatriz Josefina Bonaparte, lo que le aseguró una buena financiación y exposición de su trabajo.Su impresionante colección comprende más de 2.000 pinturas de plantas realizadas con estricta fidelidad a las formas naturales. En esta exquisita edición de Les Roses, Redouté dirige su atención a la flor más romántica, deseable y evocadora. Publicada originalmente en tres volúmenes entre 1817 y 1824, sigue siendo su obra más famosa y celebrada. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783836596213
