Tropical Discoveries Collection
Our Tropical Discoveries Collection transports you across more than three centuries of exquisite exotics – a virtual history of botanic art. Each work is an intricately beautiful botanical time machine that will provide years of conversation, contemplation and enjoyment. Your first views are two Perfect Recreations™ of the lush Bird of Paradise flower – rendered two centuries apart. The first: an 1802 original watercolor masterpiece by Pierre Joseph Redoute, the greatest botanical illustrator of all time. The second: an exquisite original watercolor creation by the greatest botanical artist of our time, Jenny Phillips. Peruse the collection to find butterflies of rapturous hues flitting amongst bananas found in the jungles of Surinam during the final years of the seventeenth century by history’s most important female botanic artist, Maria Sybilla Merian. Our Perfect Recreation thoroughly captures the life and light of this famous botanical print. Complete your tour in Josephine Bonaparte's extraordinary garden at Chateau Malmaison with a careful examination of Redoute's original watercolors of the intricately detailed and stunningly lifelike Banana Tree and Parrot Flower. "Absolutely perfect and magnificent". What Our Customers Say
