About Les Roses
Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Les Roses contains 169 plates depicting numerous varieties of roses from the gardens of Empress Josephine Bonaparte and other significant cultivators of the time. Published between 1817 and 1824, the folio was greeted with immediate success and earned Redouté the moniker “Rembrandt of Roses.” In each plate, he masterfully employed stipple engraving to depict the translucency of the flower petals and the portrait-like individuality of each rose varietal. The intensity of the ink and subtlety of the color results in engravings of unrivaled beauty.
The Oppenheimer Editions publication of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Les Roses makes this iconic botanical series available as modern fine art prints in a limited edition of 200. Faithfully capturing Redouté’s tender and precise treatment of the roses, this edition is made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.
About Pierre-Joseph Redouté
Recognized as the royal designer and painter for three successive French Empresses, Marie-Antoinette, Josephine Bonaparte, and Marie-Amelie, Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté etched his name into the history of botanical art through his magnificent floral folios. Three of his major works, Les Liliacées, Les Roses, and Choix des plus belles fleurs, were produced under royal patronage and depict plants from the French imperial gardens. His botanical prints, rendered through the innovative technique of stipple engraving, received a fervent welcome and were praised for their soft modulation of form and delicate coloring.
Despite the political tumult that characterizes turn-of-the-century France, from the overthrow of the Bourbon empire, the reign of Napoleon, and the July Revolution of 1830, Redouté continued to methodically produce beautifully serene folios of flowers in stark contrast to his violent historical backdrop. His work was highly respected in his time and continues to be prized today.
