With original hand colouring. Size. (print) approx. 50 x 33 cm.<\/p>\n<p>The Centifolia roses date from around 1550. Although once regarded as forms of a species, they are now thought most likely to be hybrids between the autumn damask and an alba rose. Centifolias are usually compact bushes with heavy double flowers which often droop under there own weight. The colours varied from white to deep rose red plus striped and spotted varieties. They were much featured in the paintings of the Dutch masters and came to be known as &#8220;The rose of the painters&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It has fragrant, mid pink, double flowers, the buds of which are covered in fine tubercles or filaments known as moss. Mosses are natural mutations which first occurred on Damask and Centifolia roses. They were very fashionable in the early eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when several hundred forms were raised.<\/p>\n<p>Gerard van Spaendonck (1756-1842) studied with decorative painter <a title=\"Willem Jacob Herreyns\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Willem_Jacob_Herreyns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Willem Jacob Herreyns<\/a> in Antwerp. In 1769 he moved to <a title=\"Paris\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paris\">Paris<\/a>, where in 1774 he was appointed <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Miniature painter\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Miniature_painter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">miniature painter<\/a> in the court of <a title=\"Louis XVI\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louis_XVI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louis XVI<\/a>. In 1780 he succeeded <a title=\"Fran\u00e7oise Basseporte\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fran%C3%A7oise_Basseporte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madeleine Fran\u00e7oise Basseporte<\/a> as professor of floral painting at the <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Jardin des Plantes\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jardin_des_Plantes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jardin des Plantes<\/a>, and was elected a member of the <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Acad\u00e9mie des beaux-arts\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Acad%C3%A9mie_des_beaux-arts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acad\u00e9mie des beaux-arts<\/a> shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Van Spaendonck contributed to over fifty works of <i><a title=\"Les V\u00e9lins du Roi\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Les_V%C3%A9lins_du_Roi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Les V\u00e9lins du Roi<\/a><\/i>, a famous collection of botanical watercolours owned by French royalty. From 1799 to 1801 he published twenty-four plates as part of his <i>Fleurs Dessinees d&#8217;apres Nature<\/i> (Flowers Drawn from Life), which were high-quality engravings for students of floral painting. Today the <i>Fleurs Dessinees d&#8217;apres Nature<\/i> are considered among the best botanical engravings in the world. Stipple engravings with which one is able to differentiate between different tones of gray, turned out to be highly suitable for depicting botanical details, a method that Van Spaendonck also taught his pupil <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pierre-Joseph_Redout%C3%A9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pierre-Joseph Redout\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like other famous flower painters, Van Spaendonck was also technically perfect: in oil, watercolour, pen or pencil, on any scale. With attention to every minute detail and elegance and sophistication of the composition, he shows his mastery. Like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jan_van_Huysum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jan van Huysum<\/a>, Van Spaendonck understood the zeitgeist and created flower compositions that matched the taste of the public of around 1800. He combined the traditional Dutch way of representing flowers with French sophistication and good taste.<\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Rose a cent feuilles&#8221; [rose with one hundred petalls) or cabbage rose, stippel engraving made by P.F. le Grand after a drawing by Gerard(us) van Spaendonck from the Fleurs dessin\u00e9es d&#8217;apr\u00e8s nature, published between 1799 and 1801.
