Pink Hedge Rose - Rosa Sepium Rosea

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Add the classical grace and beauty of French opulence from the 19th century to your living spaces with this stunning reworking of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s famous botanical piece, Rosa Sepium Rosea (Pink Hedge Rose). This painting was crafted between 1817 and 1824 to be included in his monumental series, Les Roses. Displaying the elegant composition of a wild pink rose flower stalk with freshly-blooming petals, tender buds, and beautiful green foliage.

Often called “The Raphael of Flowers”, Redouté managed to create art which was not only highly accurate but deeply romantic. Stipple engraving allowed him to capture all the delicate nuances of the flower’s petals in their light blush-pink color and its gold-centered stamens. Presented against an uncluttered, neutral background, this vintage floral illustration will serve as an outstanding accent for those with a cottagecore style, grandmillennial interior or even just a modern minimalist room.
