Description
Hailed by botanists for their scientific accuracy and by lovers of fine art for their peerless beauty, the botanical illustrations of Pierre-Joseph Redouté appear in reproduction in millions of homes in every single place the arena. This exquisitely rendered, in a position-to-color collection features finely detailed adaptations of floral illustrations created by the nice botanical artist on the behest of Empress Josephine, who maintained extensive gardens at her grand estate of Malmaison.
Included here are 30 detailed, accurate illustrations of daffodils, daisies, peonies, sweet peas, violets, roses (Redouté’s specialty), and other flowers. Colorists can bring their very own conceptions of color and hue to those excellent illustrations, or they are able to use the duvet illustrations for inspiration and guidance in faithful re-creations of the master’s work.
