KlappentextFlower painter Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon's wife Josephine, he was dubbed "the Raphael of flowers," and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.This collection brings our best-selling XL-sized edition to a smaller, more convenient format, still gathering some of the finest color engravings from Redoute's illustrations of Roses, Lilies, and Choix des plus belles fleurs et quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (Selection of the Most Beautiful Blooms and Branches with the Finest Fruits). Offering a vibrant overview of Redoute's admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!

ZusammenfassungKönigin Marie-Antoinette begeisterte sich für seine so präzisen wie anmutigen Blumenbilder ebenso wie Josephine Bonaparte: Unbeirrt von den Wirren der Französischen Revolution fertigte Pierre-Joseph Redouté Hunderte von Blumentafeln an, die ihn zum legendären Doyen der Blumenmalerei machten. Die handkolorierten Stiche dieses Bandes beschwören die Schönheit und Pracht längst vergangener Pariser Gärten und Gewächshäuser herauf.
