Jean-Louis Prevost [1760-1810] was a French flower painter, respected for his watercolor and oil paintings, as well as for his engraved works. His "Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits" is considered one of the greatest French floral books of the early nineteenth century. Although Prevost was not a botanist, his works were based on careful observation of specimens, and were intended as a reference for china and fabric designers. |
