Pierre-Joseph Redout‚ (1759 - 1840), nicknamed 'The Raphael of flowers', was a painter and botanist from the southern Netherlands, known for his watercolours of roses, lilies and other flowers at Malmaison. He was an official court artist of Queen Marie Antoinette, and he continued painting through the French Revolution and Reign of Terror surviving the turbulent political upheaval to gain international recognition for his precise renderings of plants, which remain as fresh in the early 21st century as when first painted.
