'Raphael of the Flowers'. For 'Les Liliacees'. Les Liliacées is one of two Redouté masterworks, the other being 'Les Roses'. These works demonstrate the appropriateness of the accolade 'Raphael of Flowers', for one is constantly impressed by the exquisite compositional sense and clarity of vision. More than with any other painter, one sees in Redouté's flowers living, breathing beings at their most beautiful moment.

Stipple engraving, printed in colour and finished by hand, very good condition, strong colour, trimmed to the plate mark. Dimensions: 520 x 340mm. (20.50 x 13.50 inches).
