Marianne North's 1830 - 1890 - Recollections of a happy life - Kew
In 1871 Marianne, at the age of 40, began her astonishing series of trips around the world. She was inspired by earlier travels with her father and the exotic plant collections she saw at Kew.
Marianne North was a remarkable Victorian artist who travelled the globe to satisfy her passion for recording the worlds flora with her paintbrush. The result of these epic journeys can be seen in Kew's Marianne North Gallery, where tier upon tier of brightly coloured paintings of flowers, landscapes, animals and birds are arranged. There are 832 paintings, all completed in thirteen years of travel round the world.
Marianne was devoted to her father Frederick North who was Liberal MP for Hastings; when he died in 1869 it had a profound effect on her as until then all life had centred on him.
In 1871 Marianne, aged 40, began her astonishing series of trips around the world. She was inspired by earlier travels with her father and the exotic plant collections she saw at Kew. Her words on embarking on this new period in her life sum up her excitement: I had long dreamed of going to some tropical country to paint its peculiar vegetation on the spot in natural abundant luxuriance...

藝苑掇英 North Marianne 諾瑪麗安 (1830-1890) Naturalism British
tonykwk39@gmail.com
瑪麗安娜·諾斯（Marianne North，1830年10月24日－1890年8月30日）為英國博物學家及植物學插畫家。
North Marianne 瑪麗安娜·諾斯Born in 1830, Marianne North devoted her life to travelling the world and painting plants and the walls of this gallery are lined with hundreds of her paintings.
Although she had no formal training in illustration, and was rather unconventional in her methods, Marianne North had a natural artistic talent and was very prolific. She inherited her interest in travelling from her father, the MP Frederick North. Her political connections served her well, providing her with letters of introduction to ambassadors, viceroys, rajahs, governors and ministers all over the world.
Marianne undertook her first journey, to the United States, Canada and Jamaica, in 1871. This was followed by an eight-month stay in Brazil, during which she completed more than 100 paintings. She tended to depict landscapes and natural habitats rather than individual plants. One picture, from Brazil, shows a colony of the black, red and yellow butterfly Heliconius erato phyllis roosting on a palm leaf. Another shows Mount Fujiyama, Japan, framed by the climbing shrub Wisteria sinensis.
Marianne travelled to Japan across the American continent in 1875, returning two years later via Sarawak, Java and Sri Lanka. Today her paintings from these places provide an important historical record. Some places are still recognisable from her paintings. For example, stands of the giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteus) that she painted in 1877 at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, can still be seen thriving in the gardens today.
After exhibiting her paintings in a London gallery in 1879, Marianne had the idea of showing them at Kew. She wrote to Sir Joseph Hooker, offering to build a gallery if he would agree to display her life’s work in it. The gallery was duly built in a mix of classical and colonial styles. After a visit to Australia and New Zealand, Marianne spent a year arranging her paintings inside the building. It opened to the public in 1882.
n 2008, Kew began restoring the Marianne North Gallery, with a £1.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant and additional financial support from other donors. The project involved making much needed structural repairs to the building, which reopened to the public in October 2009.
Each of Marianne’s 833 paintings, depicting more than 900 species of plants, was also restored and conserved. The conservation project started in the newly built Preservation studio in the Herbarium at Kew in 2008 and took two years to complete.
During the restoration, paper conservator Rachael Smith discovered a hidden painting. It had not been seen for over 120 years - since Marianne North covered it with its backing board. It took 16 hours to uncover half the image.
Kew conservationists achieved this using treatments ranging from removing the acidic backing board which Marianne stuck to every oil painting to make them rigid, to working with a microscope to gather, reposition and stick down tiny flakes of paint which had come loose in the fluctuating humidity.
Marianne decorated the doors and their surrounds in the Gallery. She had originally asked Joseph Hooker that visitors to the gallery be served, 'tea or coffee and biscuits (nothing else) … at a fair price,' but Hooker refused so she painted coffee over one door and tea over the other.
