Shiny-Leaved Dog Rose - Rosa Canina Nitens

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Welcome to the imperial gardens of Empress Joséphine in the form of an outstanding reproduction of Rosa Canina Nitens (The Shiny-Leaved Dog Rose). It is created in memory of the great artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté who is often called "the Raphael of Flowers." The image was created as part of the 19th-century Les Roses masterpiece volume.

This painting skillfully reflects the beauty of the life cycle of a flower. It depicts tender, light-pink blossoms opening from pale-pink buds and revealing an attractive gold center of the dog rose. True to life, Rosa Canina Nitens boasts bright-green foliage with toothed edges which have a characteristic shiny appearance.

A unique feature of Redouté's art work is his peculiar stipple engraving technique which enables him to achieve incredibly soft coloring. This reproduction will be a great choice for any person interested in botany, history or simply wishing to decorate his/her interior with classic French elegance.
