Painting Description
"Rosa Alba Cimbaefolia" is a celebrated botanical illustration by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, often referred to as the "Raphael of flowers." Redouté, who lived from 1759 to 1840, is acclaimed for his exquisite and scientifically accurate depictions of plants, particularly roses. His work played a pivotal role in the documentation and study of botanical species during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
"Rosa Alba Cimbaefolia" is part of Redouté's magnum opus, "Les Roses," a series of volumes published between 1817 and 1824. This collection is considered one of the most significant contributions to botanical art and literature. The illustration showcases the Rosa alba, commonly known as the white rose, which is a hybrid species known for its delicate beauty and fragrant blooms. The term "Cimbaefolia" refers to the specific variety depicted, characterized by its lush, full petals and elegant form.
Redouté's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of each plant made his illustrations invaluable to both botanists and art enthusiasts. His work was highly regarded by his contemporaries, including Empress Joséphine Bonaparte, who was an avid patron of the arts and an enthusiastic supporter of Redouté's endeavors. The Empress's passion for horticulture and her extensive collection of roses at the Château de Malmaison provided Redouté with ample inspiration and access to a diverse array of specimens.
The illustration "Rosa Alba Cimbaefolia" exemplifies Redouté's mastery in combining scientific precision with artistic elegance. Each petal, leaf, and stem is rendered with remarkable clarity and lifelike quality, reflecting Redouté's deep understanding of botanical anatomy and his exceptional skill with watercolor techniques. Today, "Rosa Alba Cimbaefolia" and other works from "Les Roses" continue to be celebrated for their beauty and historical significance, serving as a testament to Redouté's enduring legacy in the world of botanical illustration.
