EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour painting depicts a vibrant and intricately branching Gorgonian coral from the subclass Octocorallia, created by the skilled hand of Sarah Stone around 1760-1844. The coral, belonging to the class Anthozoa and the phylum Cnidaria, is a type of invertebrate commonly known as a sea fan or a gorgonian coral. With its distinctive pink and red hues, this coelenterate is a striking example of the Alcyonarian order within the Gorgonacea family. Gorgonian corals are known for their fan-like or whip-like structures, which provide shelter and food for a diverse range of marine organisms. The branches of this coral are adorned with tiny polyps, each one possessing tentacles tipped with stinging cells, or nematocysts, used to capture prey. The delicate beauty of this watercolour painting, now part of the esteemed collection of Sir Ashton Lever, offers a glimpse into the rich marine life of the past. Sarah Stone's masterful use of colour and detail captures the essence of this living organism, showcasing its allure and importance in the underwater world. As a member of the Cnidaria phylum, the Gorgonian coral shares characteristics with other coelenterates such as jellyfish and anemones. The name Cnidaria comes from the Greek word for nettle, reflecting the stinging capabilities of these fascinating invertebrates. This artwork serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie beneath the waves, inspiring curiosity and appreciation for the intricate and diverse marine ecosystems that exist in our oceans.
