Italian Squill

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Bring home the classic style of French court botany with this beautiful replication of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Italian Squill (Scilla Italica). The flower is from his famous series of prints called Les Liliacées, in which this illustration portrays the exquisite blue starlike flowers and vivid green foliage of this Mediterranean wildflower with scientific accuracy.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté was known as the "Raphael of Flowers" for inventing the stipple engraving process, allowing him to give his engravings exceptional depth and color gradation, as well as life-like detail. Ideal for those who collect historic botanical prints, this beautiful artwork brings classic elegance to any setting.
