Black Tern, 1835 - A Captivating Glimpse into the Avian World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print captures the essence of a Black Tern in all its natural beauty. Created by renowned artist Robert Havell in 1835, this exquisite piece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and vibrant colors. The Black Tern, gracefully depicted against a serene backdrop, exemplifies the diverse bird species found in 19th century America. This hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper is a testament to Havell's mastery of his craft. As we gaze upon this artwork at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , we are transported back to an era when ornithology was emerging as a scientific discipline. John James Audubon's influence can be felt through Havell's work, as both artists shared a passion for documenting American birds with unparalleled precision. The delicate lines and careful shading bring out every feather on the Black Tern's body while highlighting its distinctive features. The contrast between light and dark creates depth and dimension within the composition, making it truly come alive. Havell's dedication to accuracy is evident throughout this print; each stroke meticulously portrays not only the physical attributes but also conveys the spirit of this magnificent seabird. It serves as a reminder of our country's rich avian heritage and invites us to appreciate nature's wonders that surround us even today. This artwork stands as a testament to Robert Hav
