About the artist
His magnus opus was the “Histoire universelle du règne végétal ou nouveau dictionnaire physique et economique," released between 1773 and 1778. The work was ambitious and encompassed approximately 1,200 meticulously detailed plant engravings, with many stemming from the original illustrations housed in the Museum d’ Histoire Naturelle in Paris. Notably, these exceptional engravings outshone those of his contemporaries.
Buchoz was well known for his illustrated natural history books, which rank among the finest of his era. His works feature an unprecedented use of Chinese botanical art, introducing a distinct oriental influence.
