Description We are proud to be able to offer a fine original hand colored stipple engraved print by Pierre Joseph Redoute from his masterful work entitled Les Roses, peintes par... Redoute...decrites et classes selon leur ordre naturel, par...Thory. This work was published in Paris in 1835. Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the most successful flower painter of all time, together with Claude-Antoine Thory, an ardent botanist and collector of roses, have together in Les Roses produced a work not only of great artistic merit, but also an invaluable scientific record. "Redouté and Thory knew, described and figured almost all the important roses known in their day. Included were many of the key ancestors of our present-day roses. The plates in Les Roses have artistic value, botanical and documentary value, both for the species and cultivars still surviving and for those that have disappeared" (Gisele de la Roche). The roses used as specimens for the work were taken from the collections of Thory, the Malmaison gardens, and from other collections around Paris. Many of the flowers were novelties in Redoute's time, and a number were dedicated to the memory of his friends and acquaintances, such as l'Héritier de Brutelle and Ventenat. These plates are masterpieces in miniature of the engraver's art and lose none of the impact of their larger precursors in the process of reducing them from the folio to octavo format. Redoute as presiding genius is plainly discernable. We are fortunate enough to have acquired several prints from this important work that we will be listing at the most competitive prices possible.
