EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts Taxus melanosporum, commonly known as the European Yew, created by the renowned botanical artist Franz Bauer in 1835. The painting is part of the Unfinished Drawings of Plants Cultivated in the Royal Garden at Kew, housed in the Botany Library of London. The European Yew is an evergreen tree native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It is characterized by its small, red, poisonous berries and its ability to grow into large, shrubby forms or tall trees. The tree's bark and leaves contain taxol, a powerful anticancer drug that has been used in the treatment of ovarian, breast, and other types of cancer since the 1990s. Bauer's watercolour masterfully captures the intricate details of the European Yew's leaves, which are arranged in opposite pairs and have a distinctive, flat, and slightly serrated edge. The painting also showcases the tree's small, red berries, which are clustered in clusters at the ends of the branches. The background of the painting is left unfinished, adding to the artistic allure of the piece. Bauer's watercolour painting of the European Yew is a testament to the beauty and importance of botanical art in documenting and preserving the natural world. The painting not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the plant but also highlights its medicinal significance, making it a valuable addition to the Botany Library's collection.
