"Savery: A Journey Through Art, Engineering, and Nature's Wonders" Step into the world of Savery, where artistry, innovation, and the beauty of nature intertwine. From the wood engraving of Roelandt Savery's iconic painting of the dodo to Thomas Savery's groundbreaking atmospheric steam engine for pumping water, this captivating journey will take you through centuries of creativity and discovery. Roelandt Savery's facsimile picture of a dodo transports us back in time to an era when these majestic birds roamed freely. In his masterpiece "The Garden of Eden, " we witness his talent for capturing nature's splendor with vibrant colors and meticulous details. But it doesn't stop there – let your imagination soar as Orpheus charms beasts in oil on panel or marvel at "The Creation of Birds, " another testament to Savery's ability to bring life onto canvas. His works are not only visually stunning but also serve as reminders that our natural world is both fragile and awe-inspiring. Beyond art lies Hotel Savery in Des Moines, Iowa – a place where comfort meets history. This establishment pays homage to its namesake by offering a haven for travelers seeking respite amidst their own journeys. Salomon Savery continues the legacy with copies showcasing the white dodo – a symbol of rarity and wonder. These 17th-century renditions transport us into an era when exploration was ripe with curiosity about exotic creatures from distant lands. Lastly, Willem van West-Zanen presents us with dodos and parrots captured on canvas – a tribute to their unique beauty while reminding us that preservation is key in safeguarding Earth’s diverse species. Savery encapsulates more than just a name; it represents an amalgamation of artistic brilliance, engineering breakthroughs, and reverence for our planet’s flora and fauna. Join us on this enchanting voyage through time as we celebrate the remarkable contributions made by the Saverys and their enduring impact on our world.
