The Book of Flowers Taschen Flatware Inspired by the winding canalsFlower painter Pierre Joseph Redout (17591840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleons wife Josephine, he was dubbed the Raphael of flowers, and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.
