Pancrace Bessa served in the Dutch campaign under Charles Pichegru. It was there that his vocation was born; he discovered the beauty of flowers and became interested in the representation of nature through painting. He studied botany and zoology and became a pupil of G\u00e9rard van Spaendonck (1746-1822), then of Pierre Joseph Redout\u00e9 (1759-1840), with whom he later collaborated.
\nHe specialized in the art of depicting flowers, fruit and birds. From 1806 to 1831, he exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon. In 1810, he published his first issue of the Herbier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’amateur, for which he was the sole illustrator until 1827.
\nIn 1816, the Duchess of Berry, to whom he gave watercolor lessons, took him under her protection. He collaborated with Redout\u00e9 and Ad\u00e8le Richer on the illustration of Michaux’s Histoire des arbres forestiers d’Am\u00e9rique septentrionnale. In 1821, he published a Histoire des Tulipes and, later, a Histoire des Roses. In 1823, he succeeded Henri-Joseph Redout\u00e9 as painter at the Mus\u00e9um d’histoire naturelle.
