More about this artwork
"Choix des plus belles fleurs pl 032" is a striking illustration from the collection of botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redouté, noted for his masterful depiction of flowers. This particular painting features a vibrant Dahlia doublé, or double Dahlia, richly hued in deep crimson with hints of pink. The flower, shown in full bloom, displays its intricate arrangement of petals surrounding a bright yellow center, conveying both depth and delicacy.Redouté’s skill in botanical accuracy and artistic flair is evident in the detailed rendering of the Dahlia's structure and texture, as well as the lush green leaves that accompany it. The subtle shading and active lifelike stance of the flower suggest movement, as if it is gently swaying in a light breeze. This painting not only showcases the beauty of nature but also serves as a timeless scientific record, reflecting Redouté’s dual role as both artist and botanist.
