This history of the famous painter - whose roses are on tea towels, porcelain cups and saucers, well-loved calendars, prints and articles of all kinds - explains and recreates it all with exuberant enthusiasm. It will give enormous pleasure to all who love flowers, history, Redouté's paintings and/or simply a good story. Painter of Flowers to two Queens and an Empress of France, he is above all the man who, more than any other person, knew and painted the flower most dearly-loved of all.
