Brisbane Lily

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Create an elegant, aristocratic atmosphere within your own home, with this beautiful botanical illustration of the Brisbane Lily by the famous French artist “The Raphael of Flowers,” Pierre-Joseph Redouté. This piece is part of Redouté’s impressive eight-volume set Les Liliacées that took him from 1802 to 1816 to complete and represents a rare species known scientifically as Proiphys amboinensis, previously referred to as Eurycles amboinensis, which can be found throughout northern Australia and Southeast Asia.

A true marvel of stipple engraving, this botanical illustration highlights the unique snow-white petals, prominent stamens, and large shield-like green foliage. Admired by Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine alike, Redouté’s artistic technique perfectly combines scientific accuracy with a romantic approach. As the central focus in any living room, hallway, or study, this illustration will enhance any interior with its elegance and natural grace.
