Valentine Bartholomew
Valentine Bartholomew is a British Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Valentine Bartholomew spent his days painting flowers in watercolor for Queen Victoria’s court, where every petal had to look perfect. He once turned a simple bowl of camellias into something so lifelike that people stopped to stare, no fancy tricks, just careful brushwork and a steady hand. If you’ve ever walked through Kew Gardens and paused near the glasshouses at dusk, you’ve seen the kind of blooms he loved to paint.
Check out his Camellias (1840) and see if you can spot the dewdrop on the third leaf from the left.
