EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite painting is a captivating representation of Rosa centifolia anglica rubra, also known as the Cumberland rose, as depicted in Pierre Joseph Redoute's renowned horticultural masterpiece, "Les Roses" Vol. 1, published in 1817. Redoute, a Belgian artist, is celebrated for his meticulous and lifelike botanical illustrations that showcased the beauty and diversity of roses. The Cumberland rose, named after the Duke of Cumberland, is a variety of the moss rose or cabbage rose (Rosa gallica), which belongs to the Rosaceae family, order Rosales, class Magnoliopsida, and subclass Rosidae. It is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. This particular species is a dicot, meaning it has two cotyledons or seed leaves, and is classified as an eudicot, a subgroup of dicots that includes many flowering plants. The Cumberland rose is characterized by its large, velvety, and fragrant pink blooms, which are arranged in clusters. The flowers have a distinctive cabbage-like scent, hence the common name 'cabbage rose.' The plant's foliage is dark green and glossy, and it can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. Redoute's illustration of the Cumberland rose is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stem. The painting's rich colors and textures transport us to a time when botanical illustrations were a source of fascination and inspiration for artists, scientists, and collectors alike. This beautiful work of art remains an enduring symbol of the natural world's splendor and the human desire to preserve and appreciate its beauty.
