Research

Leonhart Fuchs



Leonhart Fuchs was a medieval physician and botanist. The botanical genus fuchsia is named after him, and consequently the colour fuchsia as well. 

He did 500 drawing of animals and plants that were accurate, detailed and printed on woodblocks. Possibly the father of what we would call a scientific drawing for botany.
