hardcover. Condition: New. Multilingual. Review"One of the most gifted botanical artists in history." - Victoria MagazineProduct DescriptionFlower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (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. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon's wife Josephine, he was dubbed "the Raphael of flowers," and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.This collection brings our best-selling XL-sized edition to a smaller, more convenient format, still gathering some of the finest color engravings from Redouté's illustrations of Roses, Lilies, and Choix des plus belles fleurs et quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (Selection of the Most Beautiful Blooms and Branches with the Finest Fruits). Offering a vibrant overview of Redouté's admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!

Hardcover. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - Der im Herzogtum Luxemburg im damaligen Belgien geborene französische Blumenmaler Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) widmete sich ausschließlich der Darstellung der Vielfalt von Blütenpflanzen in Aquarellen, die mit sorgfältigen botanischen Beschreibungen als Kupferstiche veröffentlicht wurden. Der Liebling wohlhabender Pariser Mäzene - darunter Napoleons Joséphine - wurde auch der 'Raffael der Blumen' genannt und gilt bis zum heutigen Tag als Meister der botanischen Illustration.Diese Sammlung bringt unsere erfolgreiche XL-Ausgabe auf ein handlicheres Format und vereint einige der schönsten Farbstiche aus Redoutés Illustrationen zu Les Roses (Die Rosen) und Choix des plus belles fleures et de quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (Auswahl der schönsten Blumen und Zweige einiger der schönsten Früchte), ergänzt um die schönsten Tafeln aus Les Liliacées (Die Lilien). Damit bietet er einen eindrucksvollen Überblick über Redoutés einmalige Begabung, Genauigkeit mit Schönheit zu paaren, sowie Einblicke in die prachtvollen Treibhäuser und Gärten eines längst vergangenen Paris.
