Carex-Leaved Hesperantha

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Transform your interior into an environment that epitomizes the glory days of botany by hanging a gorgeous copy of the work of artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, who captured Hesperantha Cinnamomea, which is referred to as Ixia Radiata, or better yet, the Carex-Leaved Hesperantha. Found within his masterpiece from the 19th century, Les Liliacées, this artwork perfectly captures the star-shaped flowers and the delicate grass leaves that have helped to earn it its common name.

Considered by some to be the "Raphael of Flowers," the art of stipple engraving performed by Redouté creates the illusion of depth, soft color gradations, and a lifelike quality that make this native South African geophyte look absolutely beautiful.
