Pasture Rose - Rosa Carolina Corymbosa

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Add an element of classic sophistication to your home through this beautifully restored fine art reproduction of "Pasture Rose" (Rosa Carolina Corymbosa). Originally painted between the years 1817 and 1824 by Pierre-Joseph Redouté—the renowned “Raphael of Flowers” and court painter of Queen Marie Antoinette and Empress Joséphine—this artwork flawlessly blends romance with the preciseness of scientific documentation.

Unlike common floral prints produced on a large scale, Redouté worked only with live subjects and not dried presses. As you observe the illustration below, you can sense the freshness in the subtle gradients of the pink flower petals, the vein pattern of the leaves’ jagged edges, and even the delicately illustrated falling single bud. This particular rose species hailing from North America is famed for its unique characteristic of growing clusters and lends a peaceful and refined vibe to traditional/vintage and contemporary/modern settings.
