10 ROMANTIC ROSES THAT WILL NOT FADE

We found 10 beautiful art works featuring romantic roses that would make extraordinary gifts for your sweetheart (or yourself!) this Valentine’s Day (or any other day!). They are roses that will last forever… hopefully, just like your love! Check them out below.

1. ROSE -- ANTONIO TERRON

“Rose,” by Antonio Terron, is romantic for sure -- and so sexy it make us blush and heat with flush. Terron is known for his gorgeous brilliant lighting and clean compositions. This one is at once clean and well….. maybe not so much…

Available at 1st Dibs.

2.  ROSES & FIGS -- PAULETTE TAVORMINA

“Roses and Figs,” by Paulette Tavormina, is a heady romantic still life. This archival digital pigment print features pink, crimson and magenta peach roses over a bowl filled with bright, lime and sumptuous mantis green figs.

Her photographs recall the sumptuous detail of seventeenth century Old Master still life painters.

3. WHITE ROSE --  LOWELL NESBITT

“White Rose,” by Lowell Nesbitt, is a beautiful rendition of a flower that conveys both purity and romance simultaneously. The delicacy of the petals are ironically powerful.

Painted in oil on canvas, it will hold an emphatic, and inspiring presence on the wall of your lover’s boudoir, measuring 80 x 80 in. (203.2 x 203.2 cm).

Available at 1st Dibs.

4. DOUBLE DUTCH II -- STEPHANIE PEEK

“Double Dutch II,” by Stephanie Peek, is a romantic, poetic and mysterious oil painting. Darkness and drama is inspired by Antoine Watteau, an 18th century painter whose passion for color pressed through. Lush exotic blossoms yield high drama and romance.

This oil on canvas painting is ready to frame and hang.

Available at 1st Dibs.

5. ROMAN REISINGER -- STILL LIFE WITH ROSES

“Still Life With Roses,” by Roman Reisinger, is a painting that tempts all the senses. We can almost feel the velvety petals, smell the fragrant musk, stir ever-so-deeply.

Roman has adopted the painting technique of the 17th-Century Dutch masters, rendering great detail in its romantic realism.

Available at 1st Dibs.

6. RED ROSES -- HILO CHEN

Roses, often considered delicate, are strong in Hilo Chen’s painting. This oil on canvas, shocks, with its color and form, yet still stays true to the romance of red roses.

Available at 1st Dibs.

7. JANE JONES -- LATE SUMMER ROSES

As heat builds up, over the months of June, July, and August, fragrant sultry airs build up in the flesh of roses. "Late Summer Roses," by Jane Jones, show off the beauty of maturity and the deep sense of passion the develops over time. Plush, fully expressed blooms have unfurled, to peak, captured in their prime in Jones’ romantic painting.

This piece is one of many stunning pieces from her 2017 show "Glorious Survivors".

Available at 1st Dibs.

8. WHITE ROSE -- ROD DRESSER

“White Rose,” by Rod Dresser, is an ode to form. Accentuated in its black and white format, Dresser’s photo renders petals into sculptures, as eternal as true love.

Available at 1st Dibs.

9. HANDEL WITH CARE -- JANE JONES

Crinkled paper tissue sculpts the background, thrusting roses forward, right up your face. Both are fragile. Both are important. Like a couple, frozen in time, sharing space, with one asserting its flower power, while the other anchors their moment together.

Available at 1st Dibs.

10. UNTITLED -- SIMON BROWN

Like a colorized black and white, this embossed photo, by London based photographer Simon Brown, is a study in contrasts -- opposites attract as they repel - rendering a sweet nostalgia, like a romantic old love song.

Available at 1st Dibs.
