Painting Description
"Campanula: Medium Canterbury Bell 1787" is a botanical illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, a renowned painter and botanist known for his watercolors of flowers. Redouté, often referred to as "the Raphael of flowers," was celebrated for his precise and delicate approach to botanical art, which combined scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. This particular work depicts the Campanula medium, commonly known as the Canterbury Bell, a biennial plant native to the Mediterranean region.
Created in 1787, the illustration is part of Redouté's extensive oeuvre, which includes thousands of floral prints. His work was highly sought after in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, especially by the Parisian aristocracy, and remains influential in both botanical science and art. Redouté's illustrations often featured in important botanical publications of the time, and his collaboration with botanists like Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle and the support of patrons such as Marie Antoinette and Empress Joséphine helped solidify his reputation.
The "Campanula: Medium Canterbury Bell 1787" is exemplary of Redouté's attention to detail and his ability to capture the delicate beauty of flowers. The illustration would have been used as both a scientific record and a piece of art, reflecting the dual nature of Redouté's work. His legacy includes not only his contributions to botanical illustration but also his influence on horticulture and the popularization of botanical art.
As a historical piece, "Campanula: Medium Canterbury Bell 1787" is a testament to the rich tradition of botanical illustration and the intersection of art and science during the Age of Enlightenment. It remains an important work for scholars studying botanical history, art history, and the natural sciences.
