Broad-Leaved Pitcairnia

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Adorn your home with the awe-inspiring blend of scientific accuracy and artistic elegance through this stunning portrayal of the Broad-Leaved Pitcairnia (Pitcairnia Latifolia). Created by none other than Pierre-Joseph Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of Flowers," this remarkable botanical illustration is from his renowned 19th century work Les Liliacées (1802-1815).

In his portrayal of this remarkable plant from the bromeliad family, Redouté has captured the incredible beauty of the stark contrasts between the strong arch of its broad green leaves and the blazing crown of its scarlet flowers. Each line and each tone is drawn in accordance with the distinctive stipple engraving process pioneered by Redouté.
