EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the 18th century showcases an exquisite depiction of an owl, created by a German artist. The print measures 36x23 cm and is part of a private collection. The artwork originates from Johann Leonhard Frisch's renowned publication "Vorstellung der Vogel Deutschlandes und beylaufig auch einiger Fremden" which describes various bird species based on their characteristics. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this predatory creature. Its plumage is meticulously hand-tinted, enhancing its majestic presence. Perched with intensity, the owl exudes both elegance and fierceness simultaneously. The composition reflects the artistic style prevalent during the late 18th century in Germany. The skilled illustrator captures every nuance of the owl's features, showcasing mastery in depicting animal behavior and markings. This print transports us back to a time when nature was studied with great curiosity and admiration. It serves as a testament to the talent of German artists during that era, highlighting their ability to bring animals to life through engravings. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the timeless allure found within old master prints. This particular artwork encapsulates not only the beauty but also the menace associated with birds of prey like owls.
