Particularly notable scholars include GLCFD Cuvier, who broke the Great Chain of Being (the theory that the living world is arranged in a straight line in a hierarchy from angels to amoebas), which had long been the central axis of taxonomy; François Levaillant (1753-1824), who published an illustrated book on African birds; and René-Primevère Lesson (1794-1849), the first Westerner to observe a living bird of paradise.Particularly notable artists who produced beautiful illustrated books include Jean Baptiste Audebert (1759-1800) (The Natural History of Hummingbirds), Jacques Barraband (1768-1809) (Parrots), and Jean Gabriel Prêtre (active in the first half of the 19th century) (The Natural History of the Bird of Paradise). The Belgian botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) was called the "Raphael of Flowers" and was loved by people all over the world.
