by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Capture the romantic essence of the French garden from the 19th century with this beautiful reproduction of the renowned work by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the “Bluish-leaved Provins Rose” (Rosa Gallica Caerulea). Originally published in his three-volume work Les Roses (1817-1824), this famous botanical artwork beautifully integrates science and poetic art.

Called the “Raphael of Flowers,” Redouté served as an artist to Marie Antoinette and Joséphine Bonaparte, Empress of France. The particular piece depicts the legendary French rose, known as the Gallica rose – one of the oldest cultivated roses ever known.
