More about this artwork

Pierre Joseph Redouté's artwork "Rosa Centifolia Prolifera Foliacea" displays the mastery of botanical illustration that secured his renown. Captured between 1817 and 1824, this piece presents a detailed and delicate study of the rose, depicting the natural beauty and intricate details of its form. In this painting, the lush, blooming roses take center stage, showcasing various stages of growth from tightly closed buds to fully unfolded blossoms.The main feature of the painting is the large, voluptuous pink rose centered on the stem, rendered with soft, overlapping petals that suggest a rich texture and a subtle interplay of light and shadow. Surrounding it are smaller buds and blooms, each at different development phases, suggesting the continuous life cycle of a rose. The foliage is depicted with equal precision, with green leaves that have serrated edges and visible veins, adding to the realism of the representation.Redouté's distinct style offers not just botanical accuracy but also artistic elegance, highlighting why he was favored in the courts and amongst the botanists of his time.
