EDITORS COMMENTS
Convobuli and Nest, c. 1863 Artist: Jabez Bligh (British, 1813-1891) Description: This exquisite gouache on ivory wove paper laid down on board painting by Jabez Bligh, created around 1863, showcases the beauty of nature through its depiction of a convolvulus plant and a birds' nest. The artwork, titled "Convobuli and Nest," is a testament to Bligh's mastery of still life and his keen observation of the natural world. The painting captures the essence of a quintessential English country scene. A field convolvulus, also known as Convolvulus arvensis or morning glory, is depicted in full bloom, its vibrant purple and lilac hues contrasting beautifully against the earthy tones of the background. The plant's tendrils are entwined around a nest, which is nestled among the foliage. The nest, intricately woven from twigs and grasses, is adorned with several speckled eggs, adding an element of life and nurturing to the still scene. Bligh's use of color in this artwork is remarkable. The rich purples and lilacs of the convolvulus flowers are balanced by the earthy browns and greens of the nest and surrounding foliage. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the textured depiction of the plant's leaves and the intricately woven nest. This painting, now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a stunning example of 19th-century British art. It invites viewers to appreciate the simple beauty of nature and the delicate balance between the plant world and the animal kingdom.
