Commissioned by the imperial court of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte herself, “Allium Cernuum” (Nodding Wild Onion) can be seen on Plate 345 from Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s legendary masterpiece, Les Liliacées (1802-1816).Nicknamed “the Raphael of Flowers,” Redouté flawlessly depicts the graceful drooping stems and delicate bell-shaped flowers with their beautiful lilac-pink colorings of the natural North American wildflower species. In this painting, you can see the famous technique of the artist – stipple engraving – combining the precision of scientific illustration with the charm of watercolors. Ideal for both cottagecore décor and minimalist galleries, this botanical print is perfect for everyone.
