EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Landscape with Birds, 1622" by Roelandt Jacobsz Savery. Painted in oil on wood, this masterpiece measures 55x107 cm and is currently housed in the Narodni Galerie in Prague, Czech Republic. The painting transports us to Emperor Rudolf II's grand aviaries in Prague during the early 17th century. The emperor had a penchant for collecting exotic birds and one of his most prized possessions was the double-wattled cassowary from Java, acquired in 1601. This rare bird takes center stage amidst a stunning landscape dominated by an eagle. Savery's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures various species of birds perched on trees or soaring through the sky. The lush greenery and towering trees create a picturesque backdrop for these magnificent creatures. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of the Dutch Golden Age and its influence on zoological studies. The painting not only highlights the beauty of these animals but also serves as a historical record of extinct species such as the dodo. "Landscape with Birds" invites us into a world where nature intertwines with human fascination. It reminds us of our desire to explore and understand different species while appreciating their inherent beauty within our own dwellings – be it castles or aviaries.
