EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured etching captures the beauty of La Capri, the caper bush, Capparis spinosa, with a delicate sphinx moth fluttering nearby. Created by Pierre Joseph Buchoz in 1776 as part of his 'Precious and illuminated collection of the most beautiful and curious flowers', this botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of these plants that are grown both in the gardens of China and Europe.
The vibrant colors used to bring this print to life highlight the exotic allure of these flowers, making them appear almost like precious stones. The chinoiserie influence is evident in Buchoz's work, adding an element of elegance and sophistication to the composition.
As you gaze upon this enchanting image, you can't help but be transported back in time to a world where natural history was celebrated through art. The meticulous attention to detail in each petal and leaf is a testament to Buchoz's skill as an artist and botanist.
Whether you're a lover of botanical illustrations or simply appreciate the beauty found in nature, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe at the wonders of our natural world.
