EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 of the Loten Collection of coloured drawings presents a captivating illustration of the Common Koel, Eudynamys scolopaceus, by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelius de Bevere. Dating back to the 18th century, this exquisite painting showcases the intricate details of this Asian cuckoo's anatomy. The Common Koel is depicted perched on a branch, its grey back and belly contrasting with the vibrant red and orange hues of the surrounding angiosperms or flowering plants. The koel's distinctive belly, adorned with white spots, is prominently displayed as it leans forward, adding to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The Common Koel, a member of the Cuculidae family, is known for its brood parasitic behavior, where it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. This unusual reproductive strategy is not evident in the painting, but the koel's alert and focused expression suggests the intense focus required for such a behavior. The Loten Collection of coloured drawings, compiled between 1754 and 1757, is an essential contribution to the art of ornithology. Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, born in 1710 and active until 1789, was a renowned Dutch artist who dedicated his career to the meticulous documentation of various species. His work, including this illustration of the Common Koel, continues to captivate our imagination and deepen our understanding of the natural world.
