More about this artwork

Pierre Joseph Redouté, a celebrated botanical illustrator of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into his refined and detailed artistic perspective in the painting titled “Choix des plus belles fleurs pl 040 (1827).” This artwork features the lush and elegant Oleander (Nerium), a plant known not only for its beauty but also its toxic properties.Redouté's skillful use of watercolor brings out the vibrant yet soft pink hues of the Oleander blooms. The flowers themselves are masterfully depicted with a lifelike presence that seems to capture their delicate texture and natural grace. The green foliage complements the pink blooms, its deep tones underscoring the brightness of the flowers, while the careful shading and intricate detailing of the leaves enhance the overall realism of the piece.This piece, like many others by Redouté, serves not only as an artistic expression but also a scientific record, reflecting the dual nature of botanical illustrations during his time.
