Botanical illustrator Pierre-Joseph Redouté left home at 13 to earn his living as an itinerant artist, eventually becoming an official court artist to Marie Antionette. Continuing his work through the French Revolution & Reign of Terror, his patrons included both of Napoleon's wives and the wife of the last king of France.

Nicknamed "the Raphael of flowers"; he has been called the greatest botanical illustrator of all time.
