by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Add some of the romantic charm of the French imperial court to your own abode through this stunning piece of botanical fine art, a copy of "Duchess of Orleans Rose" (Rosa Gallica Aurelianensis) created by the famous botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Featured originally in his celebrated works titled Les Roses and Choix des plus belles fleurs, this painting portrays the classic beauty of the historical French Gallic rose.

Redouté was famously nicknamed "Rembrandt of Roses" for the years he worked under the imperial patronage of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte documenting her prized garden roses at Château de Malmaison.
