Painting Description
Rosa 'Turbinata', commonly known as the Turban Rose, is a botanical illustration featured in Volume 1 of "Les Roses," a seminal work by the renowned French botanist and painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Published in 1817, "Les Roses" is a three-volume series that represents one of the most acclaimed contributions to botanical illustration and taxonomy of the 19th century. Redouté's depiction of Rosa 'Turbinata' is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant coloration, capturing the beauty and unique characteristics of this rose variety.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840), often referred to as "the Raphael of flowers," was celebrated for his ability to render flora with exceptional precision and artistic finesse. His work on "Les Roses" was commissioned by Empress Joséphine, who was an avid collector of roses at her Château de Malmaison. Redouté's illustrations in "Les Roses" were based on the living specimens from her extensive gardens, which housed one of the largest rose collections of the time.
The illustration of Rosa 'Turbinata' is notable for its depiction of the rose's distinctive turban-like shape, from which it derives its name. The work showcases the flower's tightly packed petals and the subtle gradation of its colors, ranging from deep pinks to softer hues. Redouté's skillful use of stipple engraving and watercolor brings a lifelike quality to the image, making it not only a valuable scientific record but also a piece of art that has captivated audiences for over two centuries.
"Les Roses" was influential in both artistic and scientific communities, as it provided one of the most comprehensive and visually stunning records of rose varieties of the era. Redouté's Rosa 'Turbinata' stands as a testament to his legacy as a master illustrator and his contribution to the documentation and appreciation of botanical diversity. The work remains a treasured example of botanical art and continues to inspire both artists and botanists alike.
