More about this artwork

Pierre Joseph Redouté’s “Rosa Gallica Versicolor” (1817-1824), also referred to as “Rosa Mundi,” showcases the artist’s supreme skill and devotion to the naturalistic depiction of botanical subjects. Renowned as the "Raphael of flowers," Redouté captures the gentle gradients of color and the delicate texture of the petals with an almost photographic precision. This painting is particularly striking due to its depiction of the variegated blooms, featuring soft pink stripes on cream petals.Redouté's work is more than merely an artistic depiction; it's a scientific record that was used during a time when such illustrations were crucial for botanical studies. The painting highlights a single rose stem, elegantly arranged to display both the flower and its foliage with stunning clarity. The rose is shown at various stages of blooming from bud to full bloom, demonstrating Redouté’s careful observation over time.This image, rendered with a soft background that emphasizes the botanical subject, invites viewers to appreciate the natural beauty of the rose without any distractions. The subtle shading and intricate details not only offer aesthetic pleasure but contribute to botanical knowledge.
