Synopsis
The revered tradition of botanical illustration dates back to the Renaissance. It emerged from the desire to catalog nature in its unpredictable splendor, and the process demanded the most precise and talented of artists.
With a remarkable skill that captured the most intricate subjects in nature, Pierre-Joseph Redouté is widely considered the best painter and engraver of botanical illustration. Working from live plants rather than from the herbarium specimens gave his watercolors unusual subtlety and freshness. He was also an innovator in printing techniques, introducing "stipple-engraving" to France, always striving for greater exactitude in his art. Redouté fortuitously acquired some of the most influential patrons of the time, including Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine Bonaparte, thus ensuring that his work was well-funded and displayed.
His impressive collection comprises over 2,000 paintings of plants rendered with great accuracy and strict adherence to nature. In this exquisite edition of Les Roses, Redouté turns his attention to the most romantic, desirable, and evocative flower. Originally published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824, it remains his most famous and celebrated work.

From the Back Cover
Die ehrwürdige Tradition der botanischen Illustration lässt sich bis in die Renaissance zurückverfolgen. Sie entstand aus dem Wunsch, die Natur in all ihrer launigen Pracht zu katalogisieren, und dazu bedurfte es der präzisesten und begabtesten Künstler.
Mit seinem bemerkenswerten Geschick, das ihn in die Lage versetzte, die kompliziertesten Motive aus der Natur wiederzugeben, gilt Pierre-Joseph Redouté weithin als bester Maler und Stecher botanischer Abbildungen. Weil ihm nicht Exemplare aus einem Herbarium, sondern lebende Pflanzen als Vorlage dienten, wirkten seine Aquarelle ungewöhnlich fein und frisch. Zudem war er ein Wegbereiter neuer Drucktechniken, der die "Punktgravur" nach Frankreich brachte, weil er stets eine immer größere Präzision in seiner Kunst anstrebte. Zufällig konnte sich Redouté Förderung durch einige der einflussreichsten Mäzene seiner Zeit sichern, darunter Königin Marie-Antoinette und Kaiserin Joséphine, die dafür sorgten, dass seine Werke finanziert und ausgestellt wurden.Seine eindrucksvolle Sammlung umfasst über 2.000 Gemälde von Pflanzen, die er mit großer Genauigkeit und strenger Naturtreue abbildete. In dieser Ausgabe von Les Roses wendet Redouté seine Aufmerksamkeit der romantischsten, begehrtesten und sinnträchtigsten aller Blumen zu. Dieses Werk, das ursprünglich zwischen 1817 und 1824 in drei Bänden erschien, gehört bis heute zu seinen bekanntesten und berühmtesten.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
