We are proud to annouce the addition to our catalog of a number of prints from Pierre Joseph Redoute’s monumental works Les Roses and Choix Des Plus Belles Fleurs.

P.J. Redoute (1759-1840) was a pupil of the famed botanical artist Gerard van Spaendonck at the Jardin du Roi and was later the official court artist of Queen Marie Antoinette of France. It was during his tenure with Empress Josephine, however, that he produced what are considered his finest works: Les Liliacées (1802), Choix Des Plus Belles Fleurs (1827-1833) and his most famous work Les Roses (1817-1824).

Les Roses is widely regarded as the defining work on the subject of roses while the Choix Des Plus Belles Fleurs is considered the most sumptuous and accomplished of his later works. These works both employ the stipple engraving technique that is prized for its subtlety of color, tone and shading. Redoute was credited for having developed and perfected the stipple engraving technique and was awarded a medal for it from King Louis XVIII of France.
