EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate XXXIII" of Joris Hoefnagel's "Animalia Volatilia et Amphibia (Aier)" is a stunning and intricately detailed watercolor and gouache work on vellum, created in the late 16th century. This beautiful artwork, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases a vibrant array of European avian and amphibian species. At the center of the composition, we find a grouping of waterfowl, including Branta bernicla, or Brent geese, and various species of ducks. To the left, a Bohemian Chatterer and a Bohemian Waxwing perch amongst the foliage, their bright plumage contrasting against the rich greens and golds of their surroundings. The artwork's ornate oval border is adorned with intricate gold detailing, adding an elegant frame to the natural wonders depicted within. Hoefnagel's masterful use of color and shading brings each animal to life, capturing their unique characteristics and personalities. This exquisite illustration serves as a testament to the natural history and scientific knowledge of the 16th century. Hoefnagel's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill make "Plate XXXIII" a valuable addition to any art or natural history collection. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is proud to preserve and display this remarkable work, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world as captured by the hand of Joris Hoefnagel over four centuries ago.
