Les Roses" is a seminal three-volume work by renowned Belgian artist, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, published between 1817 and 1824. This monumental work, known for its exquisite scientific accuracy melded with aesthetic appeal, propelled Redouté to international fame as a botanical illustrator.

"Les Roses" encompasses 169 plates depicting roses of various types — some of which have since become extinct or very rare. Each rose species is meticulously captured with a painstaking attention to detailing, characteristic of Redouté's style, accompanied by a precise botanical description, capturing essential details such as the flower's morphology, habitat, and flowering period.

More than just a visual treat, "Les Roses" reflects Redouté's significant contributions to the scientific understanding of roses. The artist collaborated with botanists and horticulturists during the compilation of his work, providing a comprehensive record of the roses cultivated in and around Paris during the early 19th century.

Embracing the tradition of botanical illustration, but also moving beyond it by incorporating the modern technique of stipple engraving — which allowed the use of delicate color gradations — "Les Roses" is not just an aesthetic masterpiece but a practical reference book, contributing to the scientific knowledge of the era.

While Redouté dedicated the first volume of "Les Roses" to the Empress Marie Louise, Napoleon's second wife, the last two volumes were dedicated to her successor and France's last queen, Marie Amélie. This continued patronage from the French court and high society aided in the creation of this monumental work.

Truly, "Les Roses" embodies Pierre-Joseph Redouté's legacy as the 'Raphael of Flowers', offering an extraordinary fusion of art, science, and horticulture, and standing as a testament to the detailed and beautiful study of the natural world in the Age of Enlightenment.
