EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Flesh coloured Common Peony, captured in a hand-coloured engraving dating back to 1766. Created by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz, a renowned artist from the 18th century, this artwork is part of the esteemed Collection Precieuse et Enluminee and was published in 1776. The delicate pink petals of the peony blossom gracefully against a backdrop of vibrant green leaves. A moth flutters nearby, adding an element of enchantment to this already mesmerizing composition. The attention to detail in this piece is truly remarkable; every petal and leaf has been meticulously rendered with precision and care. Originally used as a pattern book for porcelain designs, this artwork exemplifies the influence of Chinese aesthetics on French decorative arts during that era. The Fleurs de Chine motif featured prominently in porcelain production at the time, making this engraving not only visually stunning but also historically significant. Displayed proudly within The Stapleton Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and botanical accuracy. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders can be immortalized through artistry and skillful observation. With its ornate beauty and harmonious color palette, this flesh-colored common peony engraving continues to captivate audiences today.
