EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Lobelia hostata and Lobelia gracilis, two stunning Australian plants. Created by John William Lewin between 1803-06, this artwork exemplifies his skill as the first professional artist in New South Wales, Australia. Lewin's expertise in watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil is evident in this exquisite illustration from his renowned collection "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants". The dimensions of approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm allow for a detailed depiction of these campanulaceae flowers. The vibrant blue hues of the lobelias are truly mesmerizing. Each petal seems to come alive on paper under Lewin's masterful hand. This painting not only captures their physical attributes but also conveys a sense of their natural habitat and allure. As we gaze upon this botanical masterpiece, we are transported to an era when exploration and discovery were at the forefront. It serves as a testament to Australia's rich flora and its significance within the realm of natural history. Preserved within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork stands as a testament to Lewin's contribution to both art and science during colonial times. Its presence reminds us that even centuries later, nature continues to inspire awe through its intricate details and breathtaking colors.
