Madonna Lily (Lilium candidum) — Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Choix des plus belles fleurs (1827)
Snow-white trumpets, gentle green tepals, and slender leaves rendered with jeweller’s care. This fine-art reproduction—after Redouté’s elegant plate from Choix des plus belles fleurs—pairs botanical exactitude with quiet grace: immaculate line, translucent washes, and a poised composition that feels both timeless and fresh.
Why it captivates
-
Botanical precision — faithful morphology and venation rendered with clarity.
-
Pure palette — luminous whites balanced by cool greens on a calm ground.
-
Airy minimalism — negative space lets contour and colour sing.
-
From desk to salon — crisp up close; serene across a room.
-
Heritage appeal — from the “Raphael of flowers,” refined and collectible.
What you’ll see
A tall stem of Lilium candidum with trumpet-shaped blossoms, buds, and strap-like leaves. Subtle tonal layers model the white petals without dulling their glow—light before outline, elegance without fuss.
A richer historical frame
Published in 1827, Redouté’s Choix des plus belles fleurs sits at the pinnacle of 19th-century botanical art, fusing scientific purpose with luminous beauty. Engraved and delicately coloured plates like this defined the clear, restrained aesthetic prized by gardeners and connoisseurs.
