EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured etching, titled "Une Rose semi-double. Chinese rose, Rosa species," is a captivating work of art from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. The image showcases a beautiful semi-double Chinese rose, with its lush petals unfurling in a delicate dance of color and form. The rose, a member of the Rosa species, is adorned with intricate details, each petal delicately etched and hand-painted to bring out its unique character. The rose is not alone in this enchanting scene. A graceful swallowtail butterfly, its wings a mesmerizing blend of black and orange, alights on the petals, adding an air of ethereal beauty to the image. The butterfly's presence not only adds visual interest but also symbolizes the connection between these two beautiful creations of nature. The Chinese rose, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a fitting subject for this masterpiece. Its inclusion in Buchoz's collection speaks to the far-reaching influence of Chinese horticulture in Europe during the 18th century. The intricacy and detail of this etching serve as a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring allure of the rose. This work of art, a fusion of Eastern and Western artistic traditions, invites us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of nature, as well as the artistry and craftsmanship of the past. The delicate balance of color, form, and detail in this handcoloured etching makes it a true treasure for any art or botanical enthusiast.
