"Albin: A Journey through Art and Nature" Step into the world of Albin, a name that resonates with artistic brilliance and natural wonders. From the Roman head of God Serapis dating back to the 2nd century AD, to the vibrant hand-coloured engraving of a Parrot from 1731-1738, Albin's influence spans centuries. Charles de St. Albin, Bishop of Laon in the late 17th century, left his mark on history as a spiritual leader. But it is Eleazar Albin who captivates us with his unpublished lepidoptera watercolour, showcasing delicate butterflies in all their intricate beauty. In Ladybird and Daddy-Long-Legs from 1720 (1945), Halett brings forth an enchanting depiction of nature's tiny creatures. Meanwhile, Emperor Moth by H Terasson transports us to another era with its stunning portrayal from 1749 (1943). Eleazar Albin returns once more with Brambling from 1738 (1942), displaying his versatility as an artist across different subjects. The renowned painter RIGAUD also makes an appearance; Jacint Rigaud i Ros captures our attention with his masterful brushstrokes. But art isn't limited to canvases alone; lithograph by Albin Egger-Lienz during World War I offers a glimpse into historical events unfolding before our eyes in 1915. Nature takes center stage again as Eleazar Albin presents The Stork (Ciconia Alba) published between 1731-1738. This majestic bird reminds us of the interconnectedness between humans and wildlife. And finally, we are transported to exotic lands through Greater Bird of Paradise - a creature that embodies both grace and extravagance. Albin's legacy transcends time and genres - whether it be religious figures or breathtaking flora and fauna.
