This vintage print measures 7 ¾" x 5 ¾" and is in good condition. The artist of the original painting, "Rosa Sulfura," is Pierre-Joseph Redouté, from Belgium, and the printer was Rémond. The engraver was Langlois. This particular print is more than likely circa 1950s and would be considered a vintage print and not an antique nor an original.
Thank you to
for the following: https://www.audubonart.com/product/redoute-les-roses-pl-23-austrian-yellow-rose/ for the information on Redouté.
"Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Les Roses contains 169 plates depicting numerous varieties of roses from the gardens of Empress Josephine Bonaparte and other significant cultivators of the time. Published between 1817 and 1824, the folio was greeted with immediate success and earned Redouté the moniker “Rembrandt of Roses.”
Recognized as the royal designer and painter for three successive French Empresses, Marie-Antoinette, Josephine Bonaparte, and Marie-Amelie, Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté etched his name into the history of botanical art through his magnificent floral folios. Three of his major works, Les Liliacées, Les Roses, and Choix des plus belles fleurs, were produced under royal patronage and depict plants from the French imperial gardens. His botanical prints, rendered through the innovative technique of stipple engraving, received a fervent welcome and were praised for their soft modulation of form and delicate coloring.
Despite the political tumult that characterizes turn-of-the-century France, from the overthrow of the Bourbon empire, the reign of Napoleon, and the July Revolution of 1830, Redouté continued to methodically produce beautifully serene folios of flowers in stark contrast to his violent historical backdrop. His work was highly respected in his time and continues to be prized today."
