We are delighted to present a delicate piece from the renowned botanical artist, Pierre Joseph Redouté, titled "Rosa Centifolia Caryophyllea" from the period 1817 to 1824. This exquisite painting captures the elegance and detailed beauty of a cluster of pink cabbage roses, also known as the "hundred-leaved rose."Redouté's mastery of botanical illustration is fully showcased in this artwork. Each petal of the bloom is meticulously rendered, exhibiting his typical intention to combine scientific accuracy with artistic allure. The flowers range from buds just beginning to open to full blooms, showcasing the gradual unfolding of nature's beauty.The leaves, with their rich green hue and realistic venation, provide a lush contrast to the soft pinks of the roses. The plant's stem, with its thorns, is depicted with precise accuracy, enhancing the naturalistic feel of the painting. At the bottom, Redouté includes the Latin name of the rose, adding an educational layer to the piece's aesthetic appeal.This painting not only celebrates the timeless beauty of roses but also serves as a testament to Redouté’s significant contribution to botanical art and science.
