EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Douce Ornament Prints Album I, created in 1557 by Virgilius Solis, transports us to a world of avian wonder. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the majestic ostrich positioned on the left side of the composition. Its long neck gracefully arches upwards as it gazes into the distance with an air of regality. Surrounding this magnificent creature are nine other birds, each one unique and enchanting in its own right. Among them, a heron stands tall and elegant, while a pelican exudes an aura of tranquility. The minimal ground beneath their feet is adorned with patches of foliage that add depth and texture to the scene. Solis's etching and engraving techniques bring these feathered beings to life on laid paper. The monochrome palette enhances their beauty and allows us to appreciate every intricate detail - from the delicate feathers that adorn their bodies to the piercing gaze in their eyes. As we observe this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we can't help but be captivated by nature's diversity and splendor. It serves as a reminder of both our connection to the animal kingdom and our appreciation for artistic expression throughout history.
