Painting Description
"Black Throated Diver" is a work by John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, renowned for his detailed illustrations of birds in their natural habitats. This particular piece is part of his seminal work, "The Birds of America," which is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. "The Birds of America" was published as a series of four volumes between 1827 and 1838, containing 435 life-sized watercolors of North American birds, all reproduced from hand-engraved plates.
The "Black Throated Diver," also known as the Arctic Loon or Black-throated Loon (Gavia arctica), is depicted in Audubon's characteristic style, showcasing the bird in a moment of natural grace and capturing its distinctive features with scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. Audubon's illustration likely portrays the bird in its breeding plumage, with its notable black throat, white-spotted black upper parts, and white underparts.
Audubon's work has been celebrated for its combination of artistic beauty and scientific detail. His illustrations have contributed significantly to the study of bird species in North America and have also gained a wider audience for their aesthetic appeal. The "Black Throated Diver" is an example of Audubon's dedication to his craft, reflecting his commitment to traveling across America to observe and document birds in the wild.
The original "Black Throated Diver" illustration, like others from "The Birds of America," would have been created through an intricate process involving initial field sketches, followed by a watercolor painting, and finally, the production of the engraved plate for printing. These prints were then hand-colored under Audubon's supervision. Today, Audubon's prints, including the "Black Throated Diver," are highly prized by collectors and are held in the collections of major museums, libraries, and private collectors around the world.
