Dark Blue Plantain Lily

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Adorn your living space with the grandeur of French botanical artwork in the nineteenth century by decorating your room with a beautiful replication of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s painting Dark Blue Plantain Lily (Hosta Ventricosa), which was originally done between 1802 and 1816 for Empress Joséphine Bonaparte as an homage to her world-famous gardens in the Palace of Malmaison.

The "Raphael of Flowers," Pierre-Joseph Redouté, masterfully combines scientific precision with artistic delicacy, as evidenced by the elegant dark blue colors of the bell-shaped flowers juxtaposed against the vividly green leaves of the plant. This rare art print is ideal for creating a dark academia-inspired décor, owing to the rich deep-blue color palette used throughout the piece, rendered with high-quality stipple engraving on luxurious matte paper.
