Bath Sparagus

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Adorn your room with the classical beauty of late 19th-century French flora, captured in this beautiful reproduction of Ornithogalum Pyrenaicum (popularly referred to as Bath Asparagus, Prussian Asparagus, or Spiked Star of Bethlehem). Commissioned by the famous "Raphael of Flowers," Pierre-Joseph Redouté, for his acclaimed imperial folio Les Liliacées (1802-1816).

Depicted here is a tall and elegant stem of star-like greenish-white flowers together with its characteristic slender leaves and detailed root bulb structure. With its exceptional application of lighting and precision stipple work, Redouté has beautifully recreated the lifelike quality of 19th-century botanical illustrations. Ideal for framing in a classic gallery wall setting or as a decorative element in an antiques-inspired home study.
