EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, created by the skilled hand of German botanical artist Gertrude Metz in 1777, showcases the stunning beauty of Lychnis coronata, commonly known as Rose Campion. Metz, a prominent women artist of her time, masterfully captured the essence of this angiosperm, a type of flowering plant, in her intricate and detailed illustration. Lychnis coronata, also known as Lychnis grandiflora, is a member of the Caryophyllaceae family, which is part of the larger order Caryophyllales. This plant is native to Europe and Asia and is characterized by its vibrant orange-red flowers, which bloom in clusters atop tall stems. The plant is also a member of the Rosid clade, a major grouping of flowering plants, and the Eudicot division, which includes dicotyledonous plants with two seed leaves. Metz's painting is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 18th century. Her precise use of watercolor techniques brings the delicate details of the Lychnis coronata to life, from the intricate veining on the leaves to the delicate petals of the flower. The painting also provides an important historical record of this beautiful plant, which continues to captivate botanists and gardeners alike. The painting is held in the Library and Archives, and is a valuable addition to the rich history of botanical illustration. Metz's work is a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world through art, and the enduring beauty of the plants that surround us.
