Each print measures approximately 6

We are pleased to offer a selection
of prints from Les Roses by Pierre Joseph
Redoute, published in Paris 1835. These excellent hand
colored stipple engravings depict many different rose
varieties, and mark the high point of Redoute’s career
as a botanical illustrator.
Pierre Joseph Redoute was born in
Luxembourg in 1759 and began his career painting the
cathedrals of Northern Europe. Later, at the age of 23,
he was inspired to pursue botanical illustration after
viewing the works of Jan van Huysum and Rachel Ruysch.
Redoute’s talents soon caught the attention of the Dutch
painter Gerard van Spaendonck and the botanist & gentry
man Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle. L’Hertier
served as Redoute’s teacher, instructing him on the
finer points of plant anatomy. L'Héritier also
introduced Redoute to the members of the court of
Versailles, eventually leading to Redoute’s appointment
as a royal painter. Redoute tutored Queen
Marie-Antoinette, Empress Josephine, Marie-Louise, and
Queen Marie-Amelie. After the French Revolution, van
Spaendonck helped Redoute find work at the Les Jardins
de Plantes at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.
Each print measures approximately 6
by 9 1/4 inches on a fine light creamy paper with
strong plate marks. The stipple engravings are superb
and the colors are still bright and fresh. There is no
descriptive text. All of our prints are authentic
antique prints, guaranteed to be the age stated. These Redoute rose prints are over 180 years old.
