HENRIETTE ART

Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses (including Isis and Aphrodite), and is often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. 'Rose' means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as Romance languages, Greek, and Polish).

Roses are often portrayed by artists.

·         The French artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté produced some of the most detailed paintings of roses.

·         Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The Rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist.

·         Other impressionists including Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne have paintings of roses among their works.
