EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured etching with aquatint engraving titled "Raven" by the renowned artist John James Audubon. The artwork, measuring 99.6x66.7 cm, is part of a private collection and depicts the majestic Corvus Corax in all its glory. Created between 1827-1838, this exquisite piece is one of many plates from Audubon's iconic book "The Birds of America". The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the essence of this intelligent and enigmatic bird. Set against a pristine white background, the raven perches on a branch with its wings slightly spread. Its glossy black feathers contrast beautifully with the surrounding environment, showcasing Audubon's mastery in portraying nature's intricacies. The close-up composition allows viewers to appreciate every nuance of the raven's features – from its sharp beak to its piercing eyes filled with intelligence and curiosity. This side view perspective offers an intimate glimpse into the world of this remarkable songbird. Hand-coloured using delicate hues, each shade adds depth and dimension to the artwork while preserving its natural beauty. The artist Robert Havell skillfully brings Audubon's original drawings to life through his expert engraving techniques. This stunning print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights Audubon's dedication to documenting and celebrating avian species during the early nineteenth century. It serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and his passion for ornithology that continues to inspire generations today.
