Redoute the man who painted flowers

Pierre-Joseph Redoute is considered the most famous flower painter in the world. This book is a true story about him and his life as a flower painter. The pictures in this book really bring the book to life, along with being cute and funny. I loved this book I learned alot of stuff I didnt know about Pierre-Joseph Redaoute
