Vieusseuxia Glaucopis

By Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Create the illusion that your space has been transported back to the glory days of botanical illustration with this wonderful reprinting of Vieusseuxia Glaucopis, also known in times past as Vieusseuxia à taches bleues, but now as the Peacock Iris (Moraea Aristata). Created by the great “Raphael of Flowers,” Pierre-Joseph Redouté, this beautiful piece illustrates one of the finest achievements of 19th century scientific illustration.

The picture displays in stunning detail the contrast between the pure white flowers marked with iridescent blue and violet central markings. Redouté’s famous stipple engraving method lends incredible depth to the fine stems and shaded irises.

For those collectors of old botanical prints and lovers of elegant French decor in their homes, these pieces provide wonderful decoration for the living room, gallery wall or office setting.
