Rose of Van Eeden - Rosa Gallica Purpurea Velutina, Parva

by Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Observe the extraordinary accuracy of the "Raphael of Flowers" through this stunningly accurate replication of Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Van Eeden Rose (Rosa Gallica Purpurea Velutina, Parva), originally published in the famous 19th-century work "Les Roses." The stunning contrast between the deep crimson color of one of the roses and the extremely dark velvet-like purple one is clearly visible.

Created via the unique stipple engraving process employed by Redouté, this artwork captures the details of the jagged leaves, small thorns, and luxurious petals.
