Claude Aubriet (ca. 1665 or 1651〔De Sloover and Anne-Marie Bogaert-Damin (1999) : 16.〕 – 3 December 1742) was a French illustrator and botanical artist. == Biography == Aubriet was born in Châlons-en-Champagne or in Moncetz. He was a botanical illustrator at the Jardin du Roi in Paris. There Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656–1708) noticed his work and commissioned him as illustrator of his 1694 ''Elemens de Botanique''. From 1700 to 1702 he accompanied Tournefort and Andreas von Gundelsheimer on an expedition to the Middle East. There he made drawings of historical sites and the region's flora. After his return to Paris, Aubriet continued his work with the botanists at the Jardin du Roi. In 1707 Aubriet succeeded Jean Joubert (1643–1707) as the royal botanical painter. He retired in 1735, and was succeeded by Françoise Basseporte (1701–1780), a student of his and a former collaborator. He died in Paris. Botanist Michel Adanson named the genus ''Aubrieta'' in his honour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claude Aubriet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
