EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting captures the ethereal beauty of Iris xiphioides, commonly known as the Spanish Iris or English Iris, in its natural habitat near the foot of Mount Perdue in the Spanish Pyrenees. Painted by the renowned English botanical artist Frank Harold Round in 1922, this artwork showcases the elegant and intricate details of this magnificent flowering plant. Iris xiphioides is a member of the Iridaceae family, specifically the Iris genus, and is native to Europe. This monocotyledon, or monocot, is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The plant is characterized by its slender rhizome, which sends up tall, elegant stems adorned with beautiful purple and green leaves. The striking flowers, which bloom in late spring, feature a distinctive fan-like structure and emit a delightful fragrance. This painting, inscribed by its discoverer, Dr. E. Hartert, in 1919, provides a glimpse into the rich botanical history of the Spanish Pyrenees during the early 20th century. Frank Harold Round's masterful use of watercolor techniques brings the vibrant colors and textures of the Iris xiphioides to life, making this artwork a must-have for any botanical art collection.
