Queen Marie-Antoinette was as enthusiastic about his precise and graceful flower paintings as Josephine Bonaparte: undeterred by the turmoil of the French Revolution, Pierre-Joseph Redouté produced hundreds of flower plates that made him the legendary doyen of flower painting.
The hand-colored engravings in this volume evoke the beauty and splendor of long-gone Parisian gardens and greenhouses.
A great illustrated book, opulent as a bouquet of flowers.
