More about this artwork
We are delighted to present an exquisite piece by the celebrated botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redouté, titled "Rosa Sempervirens Latifolia" crafted between 1817 and 1824. Renowned for his precise and delicate approach, Redouté's works enchant with their lifelike precision and artistic flair, capturing the delicate beauty of flowers.This particular artwork illustrates the Rosa sempervirens latifolia, depicting a graceful spray of the climbing rose. The painting showcases a fully bloomed flower accompanied by several buds, each poised at different stages of opening. The bloom, with its pure white petals surrounding a bright yellow center filled with stamens, is rendered with such fine detail that one can almost sense its soft texture and subtle fragrance. The leaves, with their rich, vibrant green hue and detailed venation, complement the flower beautifully, emphasizing its delicate nature against the sturdy stem and thorns that hint at the plant's resilience.Redouté's mastery in using watercolors brings out the luminosity and translucent quality of the petals, whilst also capturing the glossy surface of the leaves, adding depth and realism to the composition.
