Artist Biography

Born in 1871, Frederick William Bolas was a well-known botanical painter. By the beginning of the 20th Century, he had become one of the principal botanical artists for the North of England Orchid Society, formerly the Manchester Orchid Society. Each time an orchid won a prize, Bolas was regularly commissioned by the owner to paint the flower's likeness, and many of his surviving works came from this process.

His work was recently exhibited in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and his original works in watercolour and gouache have become highly prized amongst collectors.
