Pierre-Joseph Redouté Still-life Prints

This rare original 19th century hand-colored stipple engraving entitled "Rosa Gallica Gueriniana (Roses)" by Pierre-Joseph Redouté is from his and Claude Anthoine Thory's illustrated publication 'Les Roses', published in Paris by Dufart and Hauer between 1828-1829. 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 hand-colored engraving of red roses on their stems is in excellent condition. There are a few punctate opacities which appear most likely to represent tiny imperfections related to the paper manufacture. The original descriptive text pages from Redoute's 19th century publication are included. A larger version of this engraving is currently listed online for $12,000. There is another Redoute rose engraving from this series that is listed on 1stdibs. The two engravings would make for a striking display grouping. See 1stdibs item LU1173211602522. A discount is available for the purchase of both of these engravings. Please inquiry about details.

He is well known for his watercolor paintings of roses, lilies and other flowers and their subsequent folio-sized, color stipple engravings.
