Continua a leggerePierre-Joseph Redouté’s Choix des plus belles fleurs, plate 73, published in 1827, presents the fernleaf peony (Paeonia tenuifolia) as a poised study in contrasts. A single open flower commands the centre of the composition, its broad rose-pink petals gathered around a dense, golden-yellow heart. Beneath it, slender stems and finely divided foliage spread outwards in airy green sprays, their almost feathery intricacy making the bloom appear still more substantial.
Known as the “Raphael of flowers”, Redouté brought together botanical scrutiny and an exceptional sense of pictorial balance. His flower studies belonged to an early nineteenth-century culture fascinated by classification and the close observation of the natural world, yet they were never merely utilitarian records. In this plate, the identifying structure of the plant is made fully legible while the specimen is arranged with the economy and grace of an independent work of art.
A closer look
The flower is shown face-on but not rigidly symmetrical. Five prominent petals overlap around the centre, each shaped by gentle tonal shifts: the colour deepens towards the base and softens towards the outer edges, where pale highlights give the surface a lightly translucent quality. Fine veins and restrained shadowing prevent the petals from reading as flat areas of pink. At their centre, a multitude of tiny yellow forms creates a concentrated point of texture and colour, set against the smoother expanses surrounding it.
The foliage provides an intricate counter-rhythm. Needle-fine leaf divisions radiate from the stems, crossing and separating against the warm cream ground. Darker green accents distinguish individual strands, while softer passages keep the mass of leaves from becoming visually heavy. A curved stem enters from the lower right and rises towards the blossom, lending the arrangement a natural asymmetry; the flower seems to hover above a loose, fan-like network of greenery rather than sitting upon a conventional bouquet.
At the lower edge, the Latin name Paeonia tenuifolia is balanced by the French “Pivoine à feuilles linaires”. These small inscriptions anchor the elegant composition in its botanical purpose. The word “Chapézy” also appears beneath the principal text. Their restrained placement leaves the specimen surrounded by generous negative space, ensuring that even the most delicate leaf tips remain clearly visible.
Context and significance
Redouté was among the defining botanical artists of his era, admired for transforming precise plant description into images of unusual refinement. Working in France during a period when botanical knowledge, horticulture and collecting were closely intertwined, he developed a visual language in which scientific information and decorative beauty reinforce one another. The plant is isolated for study, but never made to look inert: subtle curves, overlaps and gradations preserve a sense of growth and living structure.
The fernleaf peony is particularly suited to this approach. Its broad, saturated flower and remarkably narrow foliage offer two very different kinds of botanical form within the same specimen. Redouté uses that distinction to organise the entire plate, setting concentrated colour against filigree line and rounded petals against branching, linear leaves. The result is both an exacting record of a named plant and a remarkably lucid meditation on its contrasting textures.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
