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.French flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (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.
