Charles Empson
Acquerelli botanici sudamericani
Charles Empson, un commerciante di stampe e acquerelli a Bath, in Inghilterra, trascorse tre anni viaggiando nella parte settentrionale dell'America del Sud, perlopiù nell'attuale Colombia, dal 1824 al 1827. I suoi disegni originali delle piante esotiche dell'America del Sud, che incontrò per la prima volta in quel viaggio, presentano un artista di tecnica e realizzazioni eccellenti, meglio conosciuto attraverso le narrazioni dei suoi viaggi in Sud America. Empson viaggiò da Cienega, sulla costa settentrionale della Colombia, attraverso le cordigliere centrale e orientale delle Ande fino a Honda, a sud, tramite il fiume Magdalena, e poi verso est in Venezuela.
