Painting Description
Rosa Centifolia" is an artwork created by Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, who is referred to as the "Raphael of flowers." Redouté's contribution to botanical art, including "Rosa Centifolia," reflects an engagement with both scientific and artistic realms. The term 'Rosa Centifolia' translates as 'hundred-petal rose', and is a common depiction in botanical illustration, known for its multitude of soft, overlapping petals.
This particular work by Redouté, like most of his creations, was developed using stipple engraving, a process marked by small dots rather than lines to convey the details and depth of the image. It is this very attention to detail that has led to Redouté's worldwide fame, with his meticulously observed and elegantly rendered representation of flora. In "Rosa Centifolia", he demonstrates his usual reverence for nature with an intense focus on the flower at the heart of the composition. The rose is depicted in full bloom and in side view, exposing the profusion of its petals.
"Rosa Centifolia" exhibits the characteristic elegance and veracity of Redouté’s oeuvre, innovatively marrying art and scientific accuracy. His portrayal of light and shadow lends the image a sense of naturalism and three-dimensionality. The subtle color gradient and fine detailing give the work a remarkable lifelike quality, as though the rose were freshly plucked and pressed onto the paper.
Although the precise date of creation for "Rosa Centifolia" is not known, it is representative of Redouté's botanical illustrations spanning his career from the late 18th to mid-19th century. These illustrations were often published in botanical books, specifically during his collaboration with botanist Charles Louis L'Heritier. "Rosa Centifolia" exemplifies the artist’s enduring influence on botanical art and his legacy in merging the bridge between aesthetic and scientific pursuits.
