Ils étaient médecins, pharmaciens, curés, agriculteurs, militaires, employés, instituteurs ou professeurs. Ils ont parcouru les routes et les sentiers, les prés, les bois et les marais de leur canton. Ils ont observé, décrit, nommé, classé les plantes à fleurs qu’ils collectaient. Ils ont échangé des correspondances, constitué des herbiers, publié de brèves notices dans des bulletins scientifiques ou entrepris des flores régionales ou nationales. C’est à eux que l’on doit la connaissance des espèces végétales poussant sur le sol de la France. Ce faisant, ils ont réalisé un inventaire sans lequel les travaux sur la biodiversité, son histoire et sa distribution géographique, comme les mesures en faveur de sa protection, ne seraient pas possibles. Devenus célèbres ou demeurés presque obscurs, ces botanistes revivent ici par le texte et l’illustration, dans autant de biographies qui retracent leurs itinéraires personnels et les resituent dans leur temps et dans l’évolution de la systématique végétale du xviiie siècle à nos jours.

Terra Brasilis" inventively combines art with science, natural science and history. This richly illustrated and comprehensive book zooms in on the natural history of Brazil. For centuries the vast country with its particular geography and biodiversity has attracted explorers, colonialists and scientists. Early maps and the descriptions of unfamiliar species of animals and plants show how the colonial relation between Europe and Brazil has contributed to the discovery of the natural wealth of the country. Artists too have constantly drawn on everything that the country of Brazil has to offer: still lifes with fruit that was exotic at the time, landscapes, sculptures, silverware and numerous portraits of the various autochtonous peoples. 0Exhibition: ING Cultuurcentrum, Kunstberg, Brussel, October 20, 2011 to February 12, 2012.
