Flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions.

Offering a vibrant overview of Redoute's admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.

This book, adapted from our XL edition, gathers the finest engravings from Redoute's most important works, including Selection of the Most Beautiful Blooms and Branches with the Finest Fruits.
