Bearded Iris

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Bringing the timeless grace of a French royal garden of the 19th century right to your home, here is a reproduction of Pierre-Joseph Redouté's artwork, Bearded Iris (Iris Amoena). Referred to by his contemporaries as the "Raphael of Flowers," Redouté has rendered the soft, velvety quality of the iris's petals as well as its elegant, sword-like green leaves in this stunning piece of art.

This fine art print was originally produced using the technique of stipple engraving combined with hand-coloring and features a striking color contrast between deep violet and purple tones on a clean and simple background. This classic illustration of science is perfect for framing or creating a botanical wall art arrangement for traditional, farmhouse, or eclectic modern interiors.
