EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning landscape painting, titled "The Pilgrim's Yews, Merrow Downs," is a beautiful work by the influential British artist, horticulturist, garden designer, and writer, Gertrude Jekyll. Created in 1890, this painting is a testament to Jekyll's exceptional artistic abilities and her deep connection to nature. Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932) was a trailblazing figure in the world of horticulture and the arts. Her innovative approach to garden design, which emphasized the use of naturalistic plantings and harmonious color schemes, revolutionized the field and continues to inspire garden designers to this day. As an artist, Jekyll excelled in capturing the essence of the natural world, particularly the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of her native England. In "The Pilgrim's Yews, Merrow Downs," she masterfully depicts the undulating terrain of the Surrey countryside, with its ancient yew trees standing sentinel against the horizon. The painting's muted colors and soft brushstrokes evoke a sense of tranquility and timelessness, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. This painting, which is part of The Annabel Watts Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of Jekyll's many talents and her enduring influence on both the arts and horticulture. Dating from the 1890s, it is a valuable addition to any collection of British art or garden design history.
