With a remarkable skill that captured the most intricate details of nature, Pierre-Joseph Redouté is historically considered one of the best painters of botanical illustrations. Redouté attracted some of the most influential patrons of the time, including Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine Bonaparte.
In this exquisite edition of Roses by Taschen, Redouté turns his attention to the most romantic and evocative flower. Originally published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824, it remains his most famous and celebrated work.
