What I submit here is from a very large engraving which hangs in my livingroom, one I purchased a few years ago at an international Antiquarian Faire.
‘Rosa flore Carneo’ was created by the French court’s first botanical painter Pierre Vallet. In 1608 he published Le Jardin du Roy Tres Chrestien Henry IV. After the assassination of Henry IV, he published a second volume under King Louis XIII entitled Le Jardin du Roy Tres Chrestien, Loys XIII, Roy de France et de Navare. In this volume of 1623 he painted two roses, ‘R. flore Carneo’, figure 165, and ‘R. alba Multiplex’ , figure 166. What I present here is the upper half of an engraving of the two roses, showing only ‘flore Carneo’.
