Turk's-Cap Lily

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Recreate the regality of the French royal court with this superb reproduction of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Turk’s-Cap Lily (Lilium Martagon), which was originally illustrated as part of his landmark botanical work “Les Liliacées.” This stunning piece captures the “Raphael of Flowers” at the peak of his artistic brilliance.

This elegant composition highlights the bold red recurving petals of the Turk’s-Cap Lily, alongside intricate depictions of the plant’s stamens and lush architectural leaves. The use of stipple engraving allows Redouté to achieve a very subtle effect through the creation of color and tone gradients that are highly realistic. It is a testament to Golden Age botanical art and natural history.
