LAS ROSAS: COLECCIÓN COMPLETA DE LÁMINAS - IMPORTADO

The refined and revered tradition of botanical illustration, produced under aristocratic patronage, stretches back to the Renaissance. It emerged out of the desire to catalogue nature in all its wild splendour, and it was a process that demanded the most precise and skilful of artists. This is a reproduction of Pierre-Joseph Redoute most celebrated work 'Les Roses', which was published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824. In 'Les Roses', he turns his attention to that most romantic and evocative of subjects, and this volume preserves every detail of Redouté's representation of nature's gifts. Text in Spanish.
