Jonquil

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Evoke the sophistication of French court gardens in your very own home through this magnificent reproduction of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Jonquil / Narcissus Jonquilla from his famous work Les Liliacées (1802–1816). This stunning botanical print features the classic jonquil in vivid detail.

Redouté earned the nickname “the Raphael of Flowers” because he worked as the royal flower painter to both Queen Marie Antoinette and Empress Joséphine Bonaparte. This particular piece was drawn using live specimens in the renowned gardens of Empress Joséphine herself at her Malmaison chateau.

This beautiful piece highlights all the unique attributes of the jonquil flower with elegant reed-like green foliage, detailed depiction of its root bulb, and golden-yellow flowers. As an intersection between botany and artistic vision, this botanical print is ideal for any lover of old-fashioned style or cottagecore décor!
