Pierre-Joseph Redouté Collection
Long awaited and eagerly desired, this collection, a natural fit, pays homage to the exceptional work of Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840).
From a plethora of botanical drawings, we have selected those that resonated most beautifully within the compositions we have carefully crafted.
The most celebrated flower painter of his time, known as the “Raphael of Flowers,” and a patron of sovereigns since Marie Antoinette, is an unparalleled representative of the Enlightenment's desire to understand the world.
Renowned for his delicate brushwork and scientific rigor, he captured not only exotic species brought back by naturalist explorers but also those found in the King's Garden. He helped elevate flower painting to a leading genre. At a time when there was a growing interest in botany, the creation of herbariums, and the elegant language of flowers scattered on clothing as well as in interior decoration, his unique style, somewhere between scientific observation and decorative painting, inspired Sèvres porcelain as well as Lyon silk.
