EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Morning Glory" transports us back to the year 1766. Created by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz, a renowned French artist of the time, this exquisite piece is part of the private collection known as Collection Precieuse et Enluminee. Originally published in 1776, it was often used as a pattern book for porcelain. The delicate flowers depicted in this print are commonly referred to as morning glories. However, upon closer inspection, we discover that they are actually Ipomoea purpurea (Convovulus purpurea), also known as La Belle de Nuit or Bella Donna. The vibrant red and white petals beautifully contrast against each other, creating an eye-catching display. Amidst the blossoms rests an enchanting moth, adding a touch of whimsy to the composition. This intricate engraving showcases Buchoz's meticulous attention to detail and his deep understanding of botanical artistry. With its ornate decorative elements and rich colors, this print exemplifies Chinese influence on European design during that era. It served not only as a visual delight but also as inspiration for porcelain artisans seeking new patterns and motifs. Now preserved within The Stapleton Collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this stunning artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and intricate craftsmanship.
