Painting Description
Rosa Acicularis Viridis is a botanical illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, a renowned Belgian artist known for his precise renderings of plants, especially flowers. Redouté (1759–1840), often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers," was a court artist for Queen Marie Antoinette and later worked under Josephine Bonaparte's patronage. His work is celebrated for its scientific accuracy combined with artistic elegance, contributing significantly to botany and the art of botanical illustration.
The illustration Rosa Acicularis Viridis depicts the species Rosa acicularis, commonly known as the prickly rose, needle rose, or wild rose, characterized by its sharp, needle-like thorns and vibrant green foliage. This species is notable for its hardiness and ability to thrive in cold climates, making it an emblematic flower of regions such as Alberta, Canada. Redouté's illustration captures the delicate beauty of the rose, emphasizing its distinctive features with meticulous attention to detail.
This work is part of Redouté's extensive oeuvre, which includes thousands of botanical illustrations. Many of these were published in large volumes, such as "Les Roses" and "Les Liliacées," which are considered masterpieces of botanical literature and art. Redouté's illustrations have had a lasting impact, influencing not only the field of botanical science but also the realms of art, design, and popular culture. His work remains highly regarded for its contribution to the documentation and appreciation of plant species, as well as for its aesthetic appeal.
Rosa Acicularis Viridis exemplifies Redouté's skill in blending scientific precision with artistic beauty, making it a valuable piece both in the study of botany and in the appreciation of botanical art. Through his work, Redouté has left an indelible mark on the history of botanical illustration, celebrated for its ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of flora with enduring grace and accuracy.
