More about this artwork

Pierre Joseph Redouté's "Rosa Gallica Stapeliae Flora," created between 1817 and 1824, exemplifies the artist's renowned skill as a botanical illustrator. This painting, vibrantly capturing the essence of nature’s beauty, features the Gallica rose, a species celebrated for its lush, ornamental blooms.The artwork depicts a single stem of the Gallica rose, elegantly rising against a plain backdrop which serves to highlight the floral subject. The rose, painted in rich hues of pink, draws the eye with its open bloom, exposing delicate yellow stamens at the center. Surrounding the central bloom are smaller rose buds in varying stages of development, suggesting the natural progression of growth.The leaves, rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcase deep green tones and real-to-life veining, contributing to the lifelike representation of the plant. Subtle thorns along the stem add to the authenticity of the portrayal, reminding of the rose’s natural defense.This painting not only celebrates the beauty of the Gallica rose but also serves as a testament to Redouté's mastery in blending scientific accuracy with artistic elegance.
