  • Bessa Pancrace

    Pancrace Bessa (1772–1846) was one of the most refined botanical illustrators of the 19th century. A pupil of Gérard van Spaendonck and a close collaborator of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Bessa developed a graceful style that merged scientific precision with pictorial elegance.

Each plate offers a unique blend of decorative charm and naturalistic detail – ideal for collectors, enthusiasts of botanical art, and those seeking timeless interior accents.

    All prints are authentic 19th-century works, printed on laid or watermarked paper and colored by hand with remarkable finesse. They are rare witnesses to a golden age of botanical publishing.


  • Redouté P.J.

    Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) is universally celebrated as the greatest floral illustrator of the 18th and 19th centuries. His masterful use of stipple engraving and subtle watercoloring elevated botanical illustration into an art form of sublime clarity and refinement.

    This category features authentic, hand-colored engravings from Arbres et Arbustes, a distinguished botanical work that bridges science and aesthetics. Whether portraying roses, peonies, or exotic trees, Redouté’s compositions reveal both scientific accuracy and poetic elegance.

    Each print is an original 19th-century edition, created in collaboration with the leading botanical gardens and institutions of Napoleonic France. These works are not only decorative, but historical treasures – ideal for collectors, scholars, and admirers of natural beauty.
