Gladiolus Ringens

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Decorate your space with the time-honored elegance of French floral artistry, featuring this stunning print of Gladiolus Ringens (previously called the gaping Sword Lily), by renowned botanist and illustrator Pierre-Joseph Redouté.

The original watercolor painting was created on vellum from 1802 to 1816, depicting the exceptional level of skill that earned the artist the epithet of "Raphael of Flowers," while working under the noble patronage of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte at the famous Château de Malmaison.

This print beautifully captures the elegant curves of the arching stem of delicate blossoms of pinkish purple and blue with tinges of yellow.
