Redouté. The Book of Flowers. 40th Ed.

£19.00£23.80 (-20%)

Flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon’s wife Josephine, he was dubbed “the Raphael of flowers,” and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.

This collection brings our best-selling XL-sized edition to a smaller, more convenient format, still gathering some of the finest color engravings from Redouté’s illustrations of Roses, Lilies, and Choix des plus belles fleurs et quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (Selection of the Most Beautiful Blooms and Branches with the Finest Fruits). Offering a vibrant overview of Redouté’s admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.

    Package arrived split, and dented, which in turn had damaged the contents. I contacted the seller straight away via Amazon, and received a replacement the next day. Brilliant service! Very pleased with the book, it was recommended by my art teacher. The illustrations are so beautiful. Would make a really nice present for any botanical artist, and also for gardeners who have a particular interest in flowers.
