Description

Raoul de Longpré (1843–1911), the older brother of the renowned flower painter Paul de Longpré, shared a similar passion for floral art, particularly roses, though his work is often less widely recognized than his brother s. The Papa Gontier rose, a vibrant pinkish-red tea rose with a hint of magenta, is a favorite subject in Raoul’s paintings. In Papa Gontier Roses, Raoul captures the lush beauty of these roses in exquisite detail.
