Plate 10: Ara tricolor, Hispaniolan Macaw, by John Gerrard Keulemans (1842-1912) This stunning illustration, Plate 10 from Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild's "Extinct Birds" (1907), showcases the Ara tricolor, also known as the Hispaniolan Macaw or Cuban Red Macaw. Painted by the renowned Dutch natural history artist, John Gerrard Keulemans, in the late 19th century (circa 1868-1937), this work of art provides an intricate and accurate representation of this beautiful, yet extinct, bird species. The Ara tricolor is easily recognizable by its vibrant blue and red plumage, with a grey back and head. Its face is adorned with a distinctive red patch around the eyes, and its beak is hooked and strong, perfect for cracking open the nuts and seeds that formed the bulk of its diet. The bird is perched gracefully on a branch, its tail feathers fanned out behind it. The Ara tricolor was native to the island of Hispaniola, which is now divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, this macaw species was driven to extinction due to habitat loss and hunting for the pet trade. John Gerrard Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy is evident in this illustration, making it an invaluable contribution to the scientific record of the natural world. This painting is a poignant reminder of the beauty and diversity of species that have been lost to extinction and serves as a testament to the importance of conservation efforts to protect the world's remaining wildlife.
