Original Description
The exquisite botanical print Adelia aurelianensis, engraved by Victor after Pierre-Joseph Redouté's original for Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs (1827), embodies the golden age of floral illustration. Rendered with scientific precision and delicate artistry, the engraving captures the slender elegance of the flowering branch, its blossoms poised between botanical accuracy and Romantic sensibility. Redouté, renowned as the "Raphael of Flowers," revolutionized botanical art by combining Neoclassical clarity with a tender naturalism that appealed to both scientists and aristocracy. This work reflects the early 19th-century passion for exotic flora, when European collectors prized such illustrations as records of their horticultural conquests. As one of the last great projects by the aging master (then working under patronage of the French Duchesse de Berry), the Choix series represents a bridge between Enlightenment rationality and the coming era of decorative exuberance, making it a coveted piece among collectors of rare botanical prints.
For interior settings, this engraving’s muted tonal palette of soft greys and whites—typical of early 19th-century stipple engravings—makes it remarkably adaptable. In a study or home library, frame it in a slim neoclassical gilt frame (maximum width 2") to harmonize with its Regency-era origins, hung at eye level beside leather-bound books to enhance intellectual sophistication. Modern offices benefit from pairing it with minimalist furniture—its botanical linearity complements Scandinavian designs, while the negative space balances busier environments. Optimal display requires moderate lighting (avoid direct sunlight) at 16x24" reproduction size, scaled proportionally to maintain Redouté’s intimate detail. In dining spaces, group it with other Choix series prints using symmetrical spacing (3-5" between frames) for a curated salon effect, the engraved textures echoing linen tableware or stoneware ceramics. Its botanical subject particularly enhances spaces with natural fiber rugs or potted ferns, creating subtle thematic resonance.
