EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour painting depicts the captivating beauty of Solanum dulcamara, commonly known as the Climbing Nightshade. Created in 1908 by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church, this work of art is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The vibrant and intricate illustration showcases the purplish-pink flowers of this nightshade, which belong to the Solanaceae family, also known as the nightshades. As a member of the Solanales order, Solanum dulcamara is an asterid eudicot, which means it is a type of flowering plant that has two seed leaves when it first emerges. The name Solanum is derived from the Latin word "solana," meaning sunny or sun-loving, and dulcamara comes from the Latin words "dulcis," meaning sweet, and "amarus," meaning bitter. This aptly describes the plant's fruit, which is initially sweet but becomes bitter as it ripens. The Climbing Nightshade is a fast-growing and versatile plant that can be found in many parts of the world. It is known for its ability to climb using its tendrils, making it an attractive addition to gardens. The Victorian era, during which this watercolour was created, saw a great interest in botanical illustrations, and this piece is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of that time. Arthur Harry Church was a renowned botanical artist whose works are held in several prestigious collections, including the Royal Horticultural Society and the British Museum. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects make this watercolour a true masterpiece. The rich colours and intricate details of the Climbing Nightshade's flowers are brought to life in this stunning illustration, offering a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
