Introduce the romance of French botany in the nineteenth century into your house through Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Gladiolus Heart of Lacquer (Gladioluel Couleur de Laque). Known as the “Raphael of flowers,” Redouté perfectly portrays the beautiful pink and reddish color of gladioli and its characteristic long sword-like leaves.This wonderful botanical print is made using stipple engraving techniques that are later painted by hand to achieve perfection.
