Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) was known as the 'Raphael of flowers' for his exquisite watercolor paintings of roses, lilies, and other botanical subjects. His work, often reproduced as hand-colored engravings, continues to be admired for its intricate detail and accuracy. As a Belgian artist and royal floral painter, Redouté established himself as a renowned botanical illustrator in the 19th century.
