Pierre Joseph Redouté

Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) was called the Raphael of flowers, and the title stuck because nobody has bettered him. Born in what is now Belgium, he came to Paris, drew for the royal collection under Marie-Antoinette, survived the Revolution, and emerged as court painter to the Empress Josephine at Malmaison, where she gave him the run of the most ambitious garden in Europe. Les Liliacees and Les Roses were the results. His method was stipple engraving printed in colour and finished by hand, which let him render a petal edge with a softness that line engraving could not reach. The plates were botanically exact and commercially irresistible, and they have been copied ever since. This archive holds high-resolution scans of his botanical plates, free to preview and available as originals for printing.
