EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting depicts a common magpie, or Corvus pica, in all its iridescent glory. Painted by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist John Gerrard Keulemans around 1896, this illustration showcases the magpie's distinctive blue and green plumage, which shimmers in the daylight. The magpie is perched on a handle of a basket, perhaps suggesting a connection to human life or the natural world. The common magpie is a member of the corvid family, known for its intelligence and adaptability. With a long, slender beak and fan-like tail, this bird is a familiar sight in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The magpie's ability to mimic various sounds and voices has long intrigued humans, making it a subject of fascination and admiration. This illustration is a testament to the art of ornithology, which flourished during the 19th century. Ornithology, the scientific study of birds, was a popular pursuit among naturalists, collectors, and artists. Keulemans, who was born in 1842 and passed away in 1912, was one of the most accomplished ornithological illustrators of his time. His meticulous attention to detail and lifelike depictions of birds were unparalleled. This image captures the essence of a common magpie in its natural habitat, highlighting its beauty and intrigue. The magpie's blue and green plumage, which appears almost otherworldly in this painting, is a reminder of the natural wonders that surround us. This illustration is a must-have for any avian enthusiast, art collector, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.
