| Pierre-Joseph Redouté Gallery |
| Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs | |||
| Redoute's engravings from the Choix equal his roses and lilies in their flawless detail, yet they convey an intimate sense of beauty that sets them apart from his other botanical works. It is a selection of favorite flowers and fruits by a master who had devoted a lifetime to the art of botanical illustration, and had had ample time and opportunity to form personal preferences. The images include spectacular blossoms plucked from formal gardens, as well as the more modest blooms of wayside flowers. | |||
