EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Male Grizzly Bear, 1848" showcases the remarkable talent of American artist John Woodhouse Audubon. Measuring at an impressive 98.5x65.5 cm, this print is a true testament to Audubon's dedication and skill in capturing the essence of wildlife. The image features a majestic male grizzly bear, known as Ursus Ferox, portrayed in exquisite detail against a natural backdrop. The artist's meticulous hand colouring brings the creature to life with vibrant hues that highlight its strength and power. Audubon's work is part of his renowned series "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" engraved in 1848. This particular plate, CXXXI, exemplifies his ability to depict animals in their natural habitats with accuracy and artistry. In this side view composition, we witness the full length of the grizzly bear as it stands proudly amidst its surroundings. The absence of any human presence allows us to appreciate the untamed beauty and wilderness embodied by these magnificent creatures. This mid-19th-century masterpiece transports us back to a time when nature was revered and celebrated through artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the animal kingdom and invites us to marvel at its diversity and splendor. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exceptional piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection for all admirers of wildlife art to enjoy for generations to come.
