One the leading painters of flowers and fruit in the first half of the 19th century in France.
Bessa’s most important commission was for a series of 572 watercolours on vellum for Jean-Claude-Michel Mordant de Launay’s Herbier général de l’amateur, commissioned by Charles X, King of France, and the most significant French flower periodical of the day. Published in eight volumes, the project was begun in 1816 and the artist worked on the series until 1827. Bessa’s beautiful watercolours, of which this is one, were superbly reproduced for the book, in the form of hand-coloured engravings by various printmakers.
