Description:English Victorian botanical artist Marianne North is celebrated for her meticulous attention to detail, form, and color. Her collection of 833 paintings, which portray more than 900 species of plants, comprises her life’s work and is on permanent display in the Marianne North gallery at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, United Kingdom. Be-cause North painted with oils, rather than with watercolors, and because she predates color photography, her body of work offers an enduring visual record of these plant spe-cies, some of which are quite rare or extinct.
