ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Kyoto, Imao Keinen (1845-1924) studied painting and calligraphy with Umegata Tokyo and Suzuki Hyakunen. He taught at the Kyoto Prefecture School of Painting and exhibited in shows in Japan and Paris. One of the most well-known Japanese painters of his time, Keinen was honored by his country with the title of 'Artist of the Japanese Empire' and with membership in the Imperial Fine Arts Academy in 1919.
Imao Keinen’s most famous work, 'Keinen Kacho Gafu', is an extensive series of 160 woodblock prints of birds and flowers, published in 1891 in four volumes of 40 prints, one for each of the four seasons. The subjects range from large birds of prey to beautiful songbirds, each realistically depicted with the flowering plants and trees of their native habitat—the lyrically designed works rendered in a natural, soft color palette. These exceptionally fine nature prints, produced in the traditional Japanese vertical Oban format, were published by Nishimura Soemon, with the blocks carved by Tanaka Hirokichi and printed by Miki Jinzaburo.

- Redoute Hand-colored Engraving of Cactus Flowers "Cactus Peruvianus Cierge"By Pierre-Joseph RedoutéLocated in Alamo, CAThis framed hand-colored stipple engraving entitled "Cactus Peruvianus Cierge du Pérou" by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Plate 58 from his illustrated publication 'Plantarum Historia Succulentarum ou Histoire des Plantes Grasses', published in Paris in 1799. It depicts a branching limb of a cactus with a beautiful flower. There is a separate detail of the anatomy of a seed with early growth. Redoute was a pioneer of the stipple engraving technique, which he used to create this image. It involves utilizing a series of small dots worked into a copper plate rather than the more common lines. These dots can be made smaller or thicker depending on the degree of opacity the artist intends for various areas of the print. When inked and applied to paper, this allows for a greater portion of the paper to be seen, which accentuates the appearance of luminosity of the subject the artist is creating. Different color inks are used in the printing process, a time consuming technique known as "a la poupee". The engraving is then finished with watercolor to further enhance the beauty and realism of the print subject. This engraving of a flowering cactus is presented in silver-colored ribbed wood frame and a double mat; cream-colored outer mat and heather green inner mat. The frame measures 21.25" high by 17.25" wide by 1.13" deep. The sheet measures 19.88" high by 14" wide. There are wide margins with a few short tears and chips along the the left, right and upper edges, which are all covered by the mat. There are small spots predominantly in the margins, with a few present in the image area. The print is otherwise in very good condition. There is another Redoute flowering cactus listed on 1stdibs, LU117326853392, which is framed and matted identically to this one. The pair would make an attractive display grouping. Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840), was a painter and botanist originally from Belgium, who pursued his extremely successful artistic career in France. He is well known for his watercolor paintings of roses, lilies and other flowers and their subsequent folio-sized, color stipple engravings. Some believe him to be the greatest botanical illustrator of all time. Redouté was a favorite of the French royal court at the time and of the post French...Category
