EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print, titled "Representation of the European Bee-eater or Merops apiaster" takes us back to the late 19th century when scientific illustrations were meticulously handcrafted. Created by Eugenio Bettoni and illustrated by Oscar Dressler, this artwork is a plate taken from their renowned publication "Natural history of birds that nest in Lombardy". The image showcases the vibrant beauty of the European Bee-eater, a magnificent bird known for its striking plumage and graceful flight. The artists have captured every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate its delicate features and unique coloring. Nestled within lush foliage, we witness a glimpse into the natural habitat of these avian wonders. The depiction of an egg symbolizes new life and highlights the importance of preservation in our ever-changing environment. Chromolithography was a groundbreaking technique during this era, enabling artists like Bettoni and Dressler to reproduce vivid colors on paper. This particular print has been preserved over time and now resides in a private collection. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph beautifully captures this historical piece, reminding us of the rich heritage found within art collections worldwide. As we admire this representation of nature's marvels through Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back to an age where science met artistry in perfect harmony.
