Centifolia Foliacea is a botanical illustration by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, who is often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers" due to his exceptional skill in depicting plants. Redouté's work is highly regarded for its scientific accuracy as well as its artistic beauty, and he is particularly famous for his rose illustrations. The Centifolia Foliacea, which translates to "the hundred-leaved, leafy rose," is part of Redouté's extensive study of roses that culminated in his most famous publication, "Les Roses," which was produced in three volumes from 1817 to 1824.

The illustration of Centifolia Foliacea is characterized by its detailed depiction of the rose's lush, layered petals and the intricate structure of its leaves and stem. Redouté's technique involved the use of stipple engraving, a method that allowed for subtle gradations of tone and color, which was then finished with hand-coloring to bring the image to life. This combination of scientific detail and artistic finesse made Redouté's illustrations highly sought after by both botanists and art collectors.

As with many of Redouté's works, Centifolia Foliacea is not only a piece of art but also a valuable scientific record. During his lifetime, Redouté collaborated with leading botanists and contributed to important botanical publications. His illustrations remain significant to the study of botany and horticulture, as they capture the diversity and beauty of plant species, many of which have since changed or disappeared from their natural habitats.

Centifolia Foliacea, like other illustrations by Redouté, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the delicate nuances of plant life and contributes to his enduring legacy in the fields of both art and science. The illustration is a prime example of the intersection between natural history and the fine arts during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period that saw a burgeoning interest in the natural world and its documentation.
