Crown Imperial Fritillary is a 1827 by Henry Joseph Redouté, a Romanticism work, depicting Tulipa, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a close-up of a crown imperial fritillary flower. The pale orange petals droop around the stem like a bell. Tiny green dots dot the petals near the center. Henry Joseph Redouté painted this in 1827. He was famous for his detailed plant drawings. This one stands out because the colors feel soft but sharp at the same time. It’s a good example of Redouté’s style. Look up Henry Joseph Redouté (French, 1766–1853) to see more of his work.
