EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of John William Lewin, a pioneer in Australian botanical illustration. The image depicts "Page 211. Solanum laciniatum" a stunning purple flower rendered with watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil techniques between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's contribution to the artistic landscape of New South Wales cannot be overstated. As the first professional artist in the British colony, he played a crucial role in documenting Australia's unique flora and fauna during its early colonial period. The illustration is part of Lewin's renowned collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants". These sketches not only served as aesthetically pleasing works but also provided valuable scientific information about native plants found in Australia at that time. Measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, this piece exemplifies Lewin's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture nature's beauty on paper. The delicate shades of purple used for the solanum laciniatum flower create an enchanting visual experience for viewers. Preserved within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork stands as a testament to Lewin's significant contributions to both art and natural history. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows admirers from around the world to appreciate and cherish this remarkable piece of Australian colonial artistry.
