Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) was known as the "Raphael of Flowers" as well as the "Rembrandt of Roses". These flower and fruit prints are from a collection of 144 of his masterpieces originally published in 1833 entitled Most Beautiful Flowers. These images depicted flowers and fruits as they appeared in nature. Redoute made it possible for the next generations of flower and botanical painters to succeed.
