EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a zoological chart from the ornithology section, featuring two fascinating bird species. The first is the gob-fly, also known as gobemouche, hailing from the enchanting island of Bourbon (now Réunion). Scientifically referred to as Shama de Madagascar or copsychus albospecularis, this small passerine bird exhibits stunning plumage and an intriguing demeanor. The second avian marvel depicted in this illustration is the gobe fly, originating from Senegal. Known by its scientific names tchitrec de paradis or terpsiphone paradisii, this bird possesses vibrant colors and graceful movements that truly make it a sight to behold. Both species are beautifully captured in Francois Nicolas Martinet's renowned work "The History of the Birds, Painted in Their Appearing and Sensitive Aspects". This masterpiece provides a glimpse into the rich diversity of birds found across different regions of our planet. Displayed here is just one page from Martinet's extensive collection held privately. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully photographed this historical artwork for all nature enthusiasts to appreciate. The intricate engravings and vivid colors bring these birds to life on paper. This print serves as a testament to both artistry and scientific exploration during the 18th century. It reminds us of the wonders that await discovery within our natural world while honoring Martinet's significant contribution to ornithology research.
