The "Rosa muscosa moss rose" is a captivating botanical illustration engraved by Gouten, featured in the renowned work "Les Roses" (1817-1824) by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Redouté, often hailed as the "Raphael of flowers," was a preeminent botanical artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, whose meticulous and aesthetically pleasing illustrations have left an indelible mark on the field of botanical art. "Les Roses" is one of his most celebrated collections, showcasing the beauty and diversity of roses with unparalleled precision and artistry.

The "Rosa muscosa," commonly known as the moss rose, is a variety of rose distinguished by its moss-like growth on the sepals and calyx, giving it a unique and textured appearance. This particular illustration captures the intricate details of the moss rose, from the delicate petals to the verdant, mossy growth that envelops the flower buds. Gouten's engraving brings Redouté's original watercolor to life, preserving the fine lines and subtle gradations of color that characterize Redouté's work.

Redouté's "Les Roses" was published in installments between 1817 and 1824, during a period when botanical illustration was both a scientific endeavor and an art form. The collection was commissioned by Empress Josephine, Napoleon Bonaparte's first wife, who was an avid patron of the arts and an enthusiastic gardener. Her passion for roses and her support for Redouté's work significantly contributed to the creation of this masterpiece.

The "Rosa muscosa moss rose" engraving exemplifies the fusion of scientific accuracy and artistic beauty that defines Redouté's oeuvre. Each illustration in "Les Roses" was intended not only to document the various species and cultivars of roses but also to celebrate their aesthetic qualities. The moss rose, with its distinctive characteristics, is a testament to the diversity and elegance of the genus Rosa, and Redouté's depiction of it remains a timeless piece of botanical art.
