More about this artwork
We are delighted to present a stunning piece by the celebrated botanical artist, Pierre Joseph Redouté, titled "Rosa Bifera Pumila," created between 1817 and 1824. This delicate watercolor painting captures the exquisite beauty of a dwarf variety of the prolific Rosa bifera rose.Redouté's mastery in botanical illustration is evident in the meticulous detail with which he renders the soft pink petals of the central blooming rose, accompanied by unopened buds poised on slender stems. The rich green foliage, comprising numerous detailed leaves, provides a lush contrast to the tender pink of the flowers. What is particularly captivating about Redouté's work is his ability to breathe life into a still image, almost allowing one to sense the velvety texture of the petals and the fresh, crispness of the leaves.This artwork not only epitomizes the elegance and charm of botanical art but also serves as a historical record of floral varieties of the era.
