Description
A stipple engraving with hand-colouring by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, 'York and Lancaster' depicts the Rosa damascena versicolor, named after the Houses of York and Lancaster. The rose is known for its strong fragrance and its distinctive petals, striped with pink and white.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) was a painter and botanist from Belgium, known for his watercolours of roses, lilies and other flowers at Malmaison, and for his stipple engravings. He was employed by Queen Marie Antoinette, and continued as an official artist after the French Revolution. He was nicknamed 'the Raphael of flowers' and published many books illustrating flowers. 'York and Lancaster' depicts the Rosa damascena versicolor, also known as the York and Lancaster rose. This variety is named after the Houses of York and Lancaster, who fought for control of the English throne during the Wars of the Roses. The rose is a damask rose, known for its strong fragrance and its distinctive petals, which are striped with pink and white. The leaves are a deep green colour, and the stem is covered in thorns. The print is a stipple engraving, colour printed, with hand-colouring. This technique allowed for a high level of detail and accuracy, and Redouté's prints are still admired today for their beauty and scientific accuracy.

Artist Biography
Pierre Joseph Redoute
Pierre-Joseph Redouté narrowly avoided execution during the French Revolution, saved by his reputation as a botanical artist. Despite his association with the aristocracy, his talent was recognised, allowing him to continue his work documenting the plant life at the royal gardens. This close call adds a layer of intrigue to the man behind the delicate watercolours.
Redouté dedicated his career to botanical illustration, achieving fame for his accurate and aesthetically pleasing depictions of flowers, especially roses. Working primarily in watercolour, his technique combined scientific precision with artistic flair. He captured the minute details of each plant specimen, while also conveying their beauty and vitality. His prints, widely circulated, brought the wonders of the botanical world to a broader audience.
Today, Redouté's prints appeal to collectors who appreciate both art and science. His images offer a window into a bygone era of botanical exploration, while his elegant compositions complement contemporary interiors. The timeless appeal of his floral studies makes them a sophisticated addition to any collection.
