The roots for the interest in botany and botany were laid early. As the son of a decorator in an abbey, Pierre-Joseph-Redouté grew up among the impressive gardens of the monastery. It was also a monk who awakened in Pierre a love of botany. At the age of 13, the young artist set out to explore the world. He used his talent to earn a living as a portrait painter. Redouté was drawn to Amsterdam. He took the work of Jan van Huysum, especially still lifes of flowers and fruits as his model.
Arriving in Paris at 23, Redouté had matured into a watercolorist. His favorite subjects were flowers, which he depicted with botanical accuracy. In Paris, Pierre continued his botanical research and in a few years created the illustrations for table works on lilies and roses. The painting "Rosa Bifera Macrocarpa" shows a rose whose flowers represent all states from closed bud to seed. The depiction of an imperial crown "Fritillara Imperalis" is also famous. The peculiarity of the watercolors was the light background. Redouté became a pioneer of botanical flower painting.
Redouté's work attracted great attention even in the aristocratic circles during the artist's lifetime. Thus, Pierre could count Queen Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine among his admirers and patrons. Even today, the watercolors are used for studies of the mostly extinct plants.
