For #NationalMothWeek:
Gisbert Combaz (Belgium, 1869–1941)
Orchids and an Emperor #Moth, 1912
Pen & black ink & watercolor, on buff paper laid down on board; H 44.6 cm (17.5 in) x W 59.3 cm (23.3 in)
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gi...
"This large watercolour was executed in 1912 and is signed with the artist’s late monogram. During this period Gisbert Combaz was consistently producing works with a pronounced Oriental influence, reminiscent in style of his work from before the turn of the century. The painterly style of these large-scale floral watercolours stylistically mirrors such posters of the same period as one for the exhibition in Charleroi Les art anciens du Hainaut, Salon d’art moderne, published in 1911." info via https://www.stephenongpin.com/object/791200/0/orchids-and-an-emperor-moth

René Lalique (France, 1860-1945)
Papillons de nuit (#Moths) bodice ornament, c.1906-7
Gold, enamel, glass, diamonds
On display at Musee Lalique
www.musee-lalique.com/en/exhibit-m...
image: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Le...

#ArtNouveau
yellow gold, gray glass rose cut diamonds, pique-à-jour ornament featuring a design of 2 moths with wings open, with their right wings touching to create perpendicular connection "Along with the female figure, flora & fauna were René Lalique’s favourite sources of inspiration. The winged creatures he chose to portray included such noble species as the peacock and the swan, but also humbler specimens such as beetles, wasps, butterflies and moths. René Lalique chose the materials for his jewellery pieces to suit the required shape, independently of their more or less precious nature. With its audacious marriage of materials, this piece is a tribute to the moth, generally seen as an indesirable creature of the night. Its diamond-studded gold setting forms a base for the bodies of the insects made of glass and translucent enamel. By the way: This ornament could be fixed to the wearer’s bodice thanks to the pin on the back, but its two rings indicate that it could also be worn as a brooch."

Finished the left page of my moth survey from August 2021 in my IL prairie nature journal. So many colorful moths out there...
#SciArt #prairie #naturejournal #moth
Nature journal page with colorful moths realistically painted in watercolor with handwritten names and information in ink beside each one. Each moth has a shadow as if it's on a white sheet with a light from above. At the bottom in ink is- August 18, 2021 Moth Survey, Schulenberg Prairie, 79 degrees, humid and still- lots of activity! 8-11 pm, WS-wingspan, LF-larval food
