Canvas Print : Black Stork in a Landscape ca. 1780
Canvas Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Black Stork in a Landscape ca. 1780
The distinctive white neck feathers, purple-streaked wings, and red-tinged beak identify this tall bird as a woolly-necked stork (Ciconia episcopus), a native species of India known for its unusual plumage and height. The meandering watercourse on the right side of the composition could be a reference to the riverine areas in which such birds are typically found. A digit from the birds right foot rests upon its left, illustrating the artists close study of the standing position of these creatures. This work, like the image of the nightjar (2004.175)nearby, has been attributed to a set of 658 ornithological paintings commissioned by the French serviceman Claude Martin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Black Stork in a picturesque landscape, believed to be from around 1780. The distinct features of this magnificent bird are beautifully captured - its white neck feathers, purple-streaked wings, and red-tinged beak make it easily identifiable as the rare woolly-necked stork (Ciconia episcopus), native to India. Renowned for its unique plumage and towering height, this species is truly a sight to behold. The composition of the photograph includes a meandering watercourse on the right side, possibly symbolizing the natural riverine habitats where these birds are commonly found. A remarkable detail worth noting is that one digit from the stork's right foot gently rests upon its left foot, revealing the artist's meticulous study of their standing position. Interestingly, this particular artwork has been attributed to an extensive collection of 658 ornithological paintings commissioned by Claude Martin, a French serviceman. It stands alongside another masterpiece depicting a nightjar nearby. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print captures not only the beauty but also highlights the importance of preserving such extraordinary creatures in their natural habitat. This work serves as both an artistic tribute and an educational tool for admirers of nature's wonders.
