EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Common Iris with butterflies, c. 1776" by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz takes us back in time to the enchanting world of botanical art. The delicate purple petals of the common iris bloom vibrantly against a backdrop of colourful flowers and fluttering butterflies. This print is part of the esteemed Collection Precieuse et Enluminee, published in 1776, which also served as a pattern book for porcelain. Buchoz's meticulous attention to detail brings this floral masterpiece to life, showcasing his deep understanding of botany and artistic flair. Each petal and butterfly wing is intricately depicted, creating an ornate and decorative composition that exudes elegance. The influence of Chinese aesthetics can be observed in this artwork, evident through the inclusion of Fleur de Chine motifs.
