Take the Video Tour of the Redouté Collection

At the beginning of the 19th century, Josephine Bonaparte commissioned Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the greatest botanical illustrator, to paint her unparalleled garden of botanical specimens gathered during the great voyages of discovery. He produced his greatest work, Les Liliacées: 486 watercolor masterpieces including this one.

This work is an intricately beautiful time machine that will transport you to that moment at the dawn of the 19th century when European royalty first saw this exotic bloom. Here in the 21st century, it will provide years of conversation, contemplation and enjoyment. This is a Discovery Editions exclusive -- the first and only reproduction of Redouté's original watercolor since the c. 1810 engraving.
