EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant hand-coloured engraving titled "La Fleur Tachete des Incas (Peruvian Lily)" captures the beauty and intricacy of a Peruvian Lily, also known as Alstroemeria. Created by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz in 1766, this print is part of the esteemed Collection Precieuse et Enluminee, published in 1776. The Peruvian Lily, native to South America, stands out with its stunning pink petals and delicate blossoms. Its inclusion in this pattern book for porcelain highlights its popularity as a decorative motif during that time. The print showcases not only the floral elegance but also features an enchanting butterfly perched on one of the lily's petals. This addition adds a touch of wildlife and further enhances the overall charm of the composition. Buchoz's attention to detail is evident through his precise engravings and vivid colours. The result is an ornate depiction that exudes both botanical accuracy and artistic flair. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this exquisite print offers viewers a glimpse into French art history while celebrating Latin American flora. It serves as a testament to Buchoz's talent as well as his contribution to botanical illustration during the late 18th century. Whether admired for its aesthetic appeal or studied for its scientific value, "La Fleur Tachete des Incas" remains an enduring symbol of natural beauty captured through artistry.
