EDITORS COMMENTS
Watercolour 66 from the Watling Collection, featuring the exquisite work of the Port Jackson Painter from Banks Manuscript 34, offers a captivating glimpse into the natural world of 18th century Australia. This stunning watercolour, created around 1790, showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed depiction of an Australian fish species. With its elongated body, large, expressive eye, and distinctive blue and pink fins, this fish is a testament to the artist's keen observation and masterful use of watercolour. The Port Jackson Painter, an anonymous artist whose works are part of the Banks Manuscripts, was known for his meticulous and accurate illustrations of the flora and fauna of the Australasian region. This particular watercolour, with its spiky fin texture and anatomically correct details, is a prime example of his exceptional talent. The fish in this illustration, with its yellow belly and long pectoral fins, is believed to be a type of wrasse or labrid. Its distinctive features and vivid colours make it a fascinating subject for both scientific study and artistic expression. The Port Jackson Painter's work, now part of the Watling Collection, continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its stunning depictions of the natural world as it existed over two centuries ago.
