Globba nutans syn Alpinia nutans Produced under the patronage of Josephine Bonaparte, Empress of France, Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Les Liliacées contained 503 plates detailing the various plant species of and related to the lily family. Produced from 1802 – 1816, the plates are drawn from Empress Josephine’s extensive collection of plants in her gardens at Malmaison, where Redouté worked as a botanical artist. This folio is often considered to be Redouté’s masterpiece due to the scope, breadth, and quality of its contents.
