EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Lychnis coronaria, Prick Nose" by Arthur Harry Church, dates back to July 1905 and is a beautiful illustration of the common pink campion flower. The botanical name of this flowering plant is Lychnis coronaria, and it belongs to the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Rosoideae and the tribe Malveae. This eudicot, angiosperm, and member of the Caryophyllaceae family is commonly known as the prickly poppy or rosa rosa. The pink campion is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and it is characterized by its rosette of hairy, lobed leaves and its distinctive, pink, five-petaled flowers with a prominent, prickly center. In this stunning watercolor, Church expertly captures the intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and the prickly center, which is reminiscent of a rosa or rose. The nineteenth century was a golden age for botanical illustration, and this painting is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The use of watercolor as a medium allowed for a delicate and precise representation of the flower's intricacies, while the attention to detail and the realistic portrayal of the subject matter showcase the artist's expertise. This illustration is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and it invites us to appreciate the intricacies of the natural world around us. The pink campion is not only a pretty flower but also an important part of the Eurosid, Fabidae order, which includes a wide range of flowering plants. The painting is a valuable addition to any botanical collection and a testament to the enduring appeal of botanical illustration.
