EDITORS COMMENTS
of the Loten Collection presents a captivating and intricately detailed 18th century painting by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere of the Common Hill Myna, Gracula religiosa. This exquisite work of art showcases the anatomy of this fascinating bird with remarkable accuracy and precision. The Gracula religiosa, also known as the common hill myna, is a member of the starling family, Sturnidae, and is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. De Bevere masterfully depicts the bird's distinctive curved bill, which is adapted for cracking open the hard seeds of Fabaceae, or legume, plants. The myna's ear opening, located at the base of its feathers, is also clearly visible in the painting. The bird's flesh is rendered with a lifelike texture, and its feathers are delicately portrayed, revealing the intricate patterns and colors that make up this eudicot, angiosperm, and angiospermae species. The Gracula religiosa is perched on a branch, its beady eyes fixed intently on something out of view. The branch, adorned with the delicate flowers of a Fabaceae plant, adds a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The myna's call, a series of melodic notes, can be heard echoing through the lush vegetation, adding to the serene atmosphere of the painting. This stunning work of art, created by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere between 1722 and 1781, is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to accurately capturing the anatomy and natural history of the Common Hill Myna. The painting is a valuable addition to the Loten Collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and lifelike portrayal of this fascinating bird species.
