EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting by Edward Lear, created around 1835, captures the captivating beauty of Columba livia, commonly known as the Jacobine or Domestic Pigeon. The image showcases a particularly fancy breed of this species, with its voluminous, fluffy plumage and distinctive collar. During the 19th century, the Domestic Pigeon was a popular subject among artists and collectors, with Charles Darwin estimating that there were approximately 150 different breeds or varieties. Edward Lear, a renowned British artist and writer, expertly rendered the intricate details of the bird's feathers, capturing their iridescent sheen and delicate texture. The Domestic Pigeon, a descendant of the Wild Columba livia or Rock Dove, has adapted to human environments and can be found in cities and towns around the world. While the feral population of Columba livia has become a common sight in urban areas, the fancy Domestic Pigeon, such as the one depicted in this painting, is a testament to the human fascination with breeding and exhibiting exotic and beautiful animals. This illustration is a prime example of the Art of Ornithology, a field that flourished during the 18th and 19th centuries. Ornithology, the scientific study of birds, was a popular pastime among the aristocracy and intellectuals of the time, and the meticulous documentation and classification of bird species were considered essential contributions to the scientific community. This stunning watercolor by Edward Lear is a reminder of the rich history of avian study and appreciation, as well as the enduring allure of these fascinating creatures. The Domestic Pigeon, with its myriad of breeds and its ability to thrive in human environments, continues to captivate us with its beauty and adaptability.
