Augustin de Candolle, Swiss botanist
Augustin de Candolle. Coloured portrait of the Swiss botanist Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841). Candolle is most famous for his Elementary Theory of Botany, which he published in 1813. In this he extended and developed taxonomical schemes from Cuvier and Linnaeus, describing a system which was used for the next 50 years. His taxonomy was based on morphology rather than physiology. Candolle also studied plant geography and the influence of soil types

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases the renowned Swiss botanist, Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841), whose contributions to the field of botany are immeasurable. The artist has skillfully captured his essence, depicting a man deeply connected with nature and its intricate wonders. De Candolle's fame stems from his groundbreaking work, the Elementary Theory of Botany, published in 1813. This seminal piece extended and refined taxonomical schemes established by Cuvier and Linnaeus. His system became widely adopted for over half a century, revolutionizing botanical classification. Notably, De Candolle's taxonomy focused on morphology rather than physiology, emphasizing the visual characteristics of plants. Beyond taxonomy, De Candolle delved into plant geography and explored how different soil types influenced flora distribution. His comprehensive studies shed light on the interconnectedness between plants and their environments. This colored illustration transports us back to the 18th and 19th centuries when scientific discovery was flourishing. It serves as a testament to De Candolle's significant impact on biological research during this era. As we admire this artwork today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize the profound legacy left behind by Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle – an intellectual pioneer who forever shaped our understanding of botany and its place within our natural world.
