Painting Description
"Rosa Mollissima" is a botanical illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, a renowned painter and botanist known for his watercolors of flowers. The illustration is part of the larger work "Les Roses," which was authored by Claude Antoine Thory (1757–1827) and features engravings by Redouté. Published in 1817, "Les Roses" is a seminal collection that showcases the beauty and diversity of roses, and it is considered one of the most important works in the field of botanical illustration.
The "Rosa Mollissima" plate depicts a species of rose characterized by its soft, densely packed petals and delicate appearance. Redouté's masterful use of color and attention to detail captures the velvety texture of the petals and the subtle gradations of color, from the deep hues at the base to the lighter tones at the edges. The illustration is accompanied by a text by Thory, providing a description of the rose's botanical characteristics, habitat, and cultivation.
Redouté's work on "Les Roses" was highly influential, earning him the nickname "The Raphael of flowers." His illustrations have been praised for their scientific accuracy as well as their artistic merit, and they continue to be referenced by botanists and rose enthusiasts alike. "Rosa Mollissima" stands as a testament to Redouté's skill in capturing the ephemeral beauty of roses, and it remains a significant contribution to botanical art and literature.
