EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Seleucides Nigricans" by William Hart, transports us back to the late 19th century. The artwork is part of a monograph called "Monograph of the Paradiseidae or Birds of Paradise, and Ptilonorhynchidae, or Bower Birds" by Richard Bowdler Sharpe. Measuring 54.1x35.4 cm, this stunning print showcases the exquisite beauty of nature. The composition features two birds perched on a tree branch against a backdrop of lush foliage. One can't help but be drawn to their vibrant yellow plumage contrasting with their black feathers. With its back turned towards us, one bird seems engrossed in devouring a delicious fruit while the other gazes upwards. Hart's meticulous attention to detail brings these avian creatures to life as they engage in their natural habitat. The lithography technique used adds depth and texture to every feather and leaf depicted. This artwork captures not only the aesthetic appeal but also provides valuable scientific insight into these fascinating species. It serves as an important historical document showcasing European artistry and ornithological studies from that era. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the boundless wonders found in nature and how art can beautifully preserve them for generations to come.
