More about this artwork

We are proud to present "Rosa Eglanteria Sub Rubra," a stunning botanical illustration by the renowned artist Pierre Joseph Redouté, dated between 1817 and 1824. Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," is celebrated for his precise and delicate approach to botanical art, and this piece is a magnificent testament to his skill.This artwork depicts the Rosa eglanteria, also known as the sweet briar or eglantine rose, in exquisite detail. The painting features two prominent blooms, one fully opened in a soft shade of pink with a vivid yellow center, and the other, slightly tilted, revealing its delicate inner petals. The leaves are richly colored in varied shades of green, with visible vein patterns that highlight Redouté’s meticulous attention to detail.What sets this painting apart is not just its scientific accuracy but also its artistic finesse. The composition of the flowers and leaves on the stem creates a naturalistic and pleasing balance, evoking both the beauty and the spontaneity of the rose as it might be found in nature. This piece not only serves as a visual delight but also as an informative tool, reflecting Redouté’s dual commitment to art and botany.
