Thom Apple (Datura Levis)

Plate No. VI · selected florilegium, 2025

Original work → P.J. Redoute, 1833.  

 From Choix des plus belles fleurs et quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (1833), this rare plate captures the thorn apple (Datura levis) in Redouté’s unmistakable hand. Known for his precision and luminous style, Redouté elevated botanical study into fine art, blending scientific clarity with painterly depth.

This restored print preserves the tempered drama of the datura bloom. It is at once delicate and imposing,

offering a glimpse into the Romantic fascination with exotic flora that shaped the 19th century. An archival reproduction, prepared for lasting display.
