The botanical masterpiece adds an element of primitive elegance to wherever it hangs. This botanical print is based on the work of the renowned Pierre-Joseph Redouté, who was often referred to as the “Raphael of Flowers.” The print depicts the unique architecture of the Bandana of the Everglades (Canna Flaccida), a wild canna lily indigenous to the Southeastern United States.Stipple engraving, a highly advanced method of artistic expression by Redouté, captures the translucent golden-yellow petals and the organically green framework of the broad leaves of the plant. With scientific precision combined with the romantic flair of French court paintings, this artwork makes a strong statement about aesthetics and intellect alike.
