The British Horticulture Series Collection: “Looking Up in Kew’s Palm House"
“Looking Up in Kew’s Palm House” painting looks up to one of the impressive Victorian iron joints along the ceiling of Kew garden’s Palm House.
On my trip to London in 2018 I spent a whole day at Kew Garden’s, and the Palm House holds my heart to this day. Housing tropical and sub-tropical plants from the depths of the rainforest, around every corner I was stunned by magnificent grand plants. With the morning light pouring through the windows, and the mist heavy in the air. Walking down the pathways of the Palm house was breathtaking.
The feature elements of this painting are the decadent plants and the elaborate architecture of the glass house. The Palm House was built by borrowing techniques from ship builders in 1848, making it resemble a ship structurally. It was the largest glasshouse in the world to ever be built at the time.
I hope that this composition celebrating the magnificence of the Palm House entices you to add it to your collection.
