EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration, entitled "Rosier de Portland" or Portland Rose, is a masterpiece by the renowned Belgian artist Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840). It was created as part of his famous series "Les Roses," published in 1817. The painting showcases the Damascena coccinea, also known as the Portland rose or Damask rose, a beautiful and iconic flowering plant in the Rosaceae family. Damask roses, scientifically classified as Rosa damascena or Rosa x damascena, are eudicots, angiosperms, and members of the magnoliophyta division. They belong to the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Rosoideae, and the tribe Rosae. The Fabidae are their closest relatives. The Portland rose is a vibrant and captivating flower, characterized by its rich red color and velvety texture. Its five petals, delicately depicted in this illustration, radiate outwards from a central point, revealing the intricate details of the flower's anatomy. The Damascena coccinea is native to the Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia, and it has been cultivated for its fragrant flowers for thousands of years. Redoute's illustration is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to botanical accuracy. The painting captures the essence of the Portland rose, revealing its intricate beauty and unique features. It is a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers, showcasing the enduring allure of these beloved flowers.
