Painting Description
"Le Grand Toucan à Gorge Orange, No. 5" is a notable illustration by the French artist Jacques Barraband (1767–1809), renowned for his lifelike depictions of birds. Barraband's work is highly regarded for its precision and vibrancy, and his illustrations are considered some of the finest records of ornithology from the early 19th century. This particular piece is part of a series of illustrations he created for François Levaillant's ornithological works, including "Histoire Naturelle des Perroquets" (Natural History of Parrots) and "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Rolliers, suivie de celle des Toucans et des Barbus" (Natural History of Birds of Paradise and Rollers, followed by that of Toucans and Barbets).
"Le Grand Toucan à Gorge Orange, No. 5" showcases Barraband's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the subject with scientific accuracy while also conveying its aesthetic beauty. The illustration features the grand toucan, known for its distinctive large bill and vibrant plumage, with a particular focus on the orange throat—a characteristic of the species highlighted in the title.
Barraband's illustrations were often based on live specimens and skins collected during expeditions, which allowed him to study the birds closely and reproduce their appearance with exceptional realism. His work contributed significantly to the field of ornithology by providing researchers and enthusiasts with accurate visual representations of exotic birds, many of which were unfamiliar to the European audience at the time.
The legacy of Jacques Barraband's artistry endures, and his illustrations, including "Le Grand Toucan à Gorge Orange, No. 5," continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and scientific value. They are frequently referenced in ornithological studies and are prized by collectors and institutions as exemplary works of natural history illustration.
