Single Moss Rose - Rosa Muscosa Simplex

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Capture the elegance of the French court in your own home with this botanical print, rendered by the great "Raphael of Flowers," Pierre-Joseph Redouté. With the delicate beauty of the rare Single Moss Rose (Rosa Muscosa Simplex) captured here in the form of an individual opened flower and a perfect green-budded bloom, this botanical print highlights the beauty of the natural world.

Rendered as part of Redouté's famous series of roses, Les Roses, from the 19th century, this art print uses his trademark stipple engraving technique. The soft gradient colors of the pale-pink petals as well as the fine textures of the glandular "moss" found on the rose stem are all represented here in great detail.
