Amaryllis Montana

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

A rare stipple engraving done in beautiful original hand color and signed by the "Raphael of Flowers," Pierre Joseph Redouté. The delicately engraved floral subject in this stunning print is the Amaryllis Montana, which differs from common amaryllis blooms because of its unusually delicate pink star-shaped flowers on a very slender green stem.

This rare print comes from one of the greatest graphic works in the history of science and art by Pierre-Joseph Redouté and is executed using the innovative print making method where fine lines were replaced with tiny dots, giving the image remarkable tones and botanical accuracy.
