Description

Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues (1533–1588) was the official draughtsman of the 1564 French expedition to Florida and one of the few survivors of the Spanish massacre at Fort Caroline. Taking refuge in London, he painted between 1560 and 1575 the only botanical album that survives from his hand: thirty-four watercolours of unparalleled precision and beauty in European Renaissance art. Wildflowers, fruit trees and medicinal herbs from the English countryside, painted by the same man who had drawn the Timucua Indians across the ocean. The album was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London in 1856 and is reproduced here in full.
