Pierre-Joseph Redouté was born in 1759 in Saint-Hubert, Belgium & he died in Paris in 1840 at the age of 80 whil'st sitting at his easel painting a lily. Nicknamed "The Raphael Of Flowers" he was a painter & botanist, best known for his watercolors of roses, lilies, & other flowers. He was the official court artist of Queen Marie Antoinette & he continued painting through the French Revolution & the Reign of Terror. Redouté survived the turbulent political upheaval to gain international recognition for his precise renderings of plants, which remain as fresh in the early 21st century as when they were first painted.
