Rose after Redouté
Acrylic paint on vintage print.
Reproduction from a stipple engraving by Victor after the painting by Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) for his Les Roses, originally published in Paris between 1827 and 1830.
Redoute roses are the best known illustrations of this beautiful flower.
Having moved from Belgium to Paris in 1782, Redouté's passion for painting flowers took him to the Jardin du Roi where he met the botanist Gerard van Spaendonck and became his assistant. He was next employed by wealthy amateur botanist Charles-Louis L'Heritier de Brutelle, who employed Redouté as an illustrator and instructed him in plant anatomy, which greatly assisted with his botanical illustrations. Redouté pioneered the intricate colour-printed stipple engraving, finished by hand.
During turbulent times in France, Redouté had as pupils or patrons, five queens and empresses of France, from Marie-Antoinette to Empress Josephine and her successor Marie-Louise. Redouté painted exquisite watercolours on vellum for his employer Napoleon's Empress Josephine to record the plants and flowers in her lavish gardens at Malmaison.

A riot of bright, complementary hues and pinstripe patterns converges with our equine companions, inviting contemplation of deeper meanings.
Pinstripes, often associated with human fashion and 70s racecars, take on new life when juxtaposed with the natural elegance of horses.
While some may prefer "plain" or "earth-toned" horses for their simplicity and primal connection, there is undeniable beauty in the unexpected blend of power and vulnerability.
This artwork encourages viewers to appreciate diversity and celebrate life's varied expressions, bringing order to chaos on a different plane of existence.
Ultimately, it is our own biases and preconceptions that limit our appreciation of these equine masterpieces. By embracing the unexpected and unconventional, we open our hearts in ways previously unimaginable.
Let us not dismiss the "unusual colored stripes" that cross our path. Beauty is woven into the very fabric of existence, waiting to be discovered by those who dare to look beyond the ordinary.
