"Canterbury Bell" is a botanical illustration by Georg Dionysius Ehret, a renowned German botanical artist of the 18th century. The artwork depicts the Campanula medium, commonly known as the Canterbury Bell, a plant native to southern Europe. Ehret's illustration is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant coloration, which was typical of his work and contributed to his reputation as one of the most influential botanical illustrators of his time.

Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708–1770) was a prolific artist whose contributions to the field of botanical illustration were significant during the early period of plant classification. His work was highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and artistic quality, and he collaborated with leading botanists of his era, including Carl Linnaeus and Joseph Banks. Ehret's illustrations often served as a visual reference for the study and classification of plants, and his legacy includes a vast collection of drawings and paintings that continue to be admired for their beauty and precision.

The "Canterbury Bell" illustration is a fine example of Ehret's skill in capturing the delicate features of flowering plants. The artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also as an important historical document that reflects the Enlightenment's emphasis on scientific exploration and documentation. The illustration would have been used as a botanical reference, aiding in the identification and study of the Canterbury Bell species, and it remains a testament to Ehret's mastery of botanical art.

As with many of Ehret's works, "Canterbury Bell" would likely have been included in one of the several prestigious publications to which he contributed, such as "Plantae Selectae" or "Phytanthoza Iconographia." These publications were essential in disseminating knowledge about plants and their classification during the 18th century. The original artwork of "Canterbury Bell" by Georg Dionysius Ehret is an important piece within the canon of botanical illustration and continues to be celebrated for its aesthetic appeal and scientific value.
