EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating hand-coloured engraving, titled "Passerose (Hollyhock), c. 1776" is a true masterpiece by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz. The print showcases the delicate beauty of a hollyhock flower, known as Althea Rosea in botanical terms. From Buchoz's renowned Collection Precieuse et Enluminee, published in 1776, this artwork also served as a pattern book for porcelain designs. Its intricate details and vivid colors make it an ideal reference for creating exquisite porcelain pieces. The image features a stunning combination of yellow and pink petals that gracefully unfold to reveal the blossom's inner charm. A curious insect perches on one of the petals, adding an element of life to this already enchanting scene. Buchoz's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The decorative blue background complements the floral subject perfectly, enhancing its ornate nature. This print from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into French art history while celebrating the timeless allure of flowers and their significance in botany. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old artworks can still inspire with their vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate Buchoz's talent and passion for capturing nature's wonders through his engravings.
