Roses [2024] hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe revered tradition of \u003cstrong\u003ebotanical illustration \u003c\/strong\u003edates back to the Renaissance. It emerged from the desire to catalog nature in its unpredictable splendor, and the process demanded the most precise and talented of artists.\u003cbr\u003eWith a remarkable skill that captured the most intricate subjects in nature, \u003cstrong\u003ePierre-Joseph Redoute\u003c\/strong\u003e is widely considered the best \u003cstrong\u003epainter and engraver of botanical illustration\u003c\/strong\u003e. Working from live plants rather than from the herbarium specimens gave his watercolors unusual \u003cstrong\u003esubtlety and freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e. He was also an \u003cstrong\u003einnovator in printing techniques\u003c\/strong\u003e, introducing \"stipple-engraving\" to France, always striving for greater exactitude in his art. Redoute fortuitously acquired some of the most influential patrons of the time, including \u003cstrong\u003eMarie Antoinette\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEmpress Josephine Bonaparte\u003c\/strong\u003e, thus ensuring that his work was well-funded and displayed.His impressive collection comprises over 2,000 paintings of plants rendered with \u003cstrong\u003egreat accuracy and strict adherence to nature\u003c\/strong\u003e. In this exquisite edition of \u003cem\u003eLes Roses, \u003c\/em\u003eRedoute turns his attention to the \u003cstrong\u003emost romantic, desirable, and evocative flower\u003c\/strong\u003e. Originally published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824, it remains his most famous and celebrated work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lack, H.
