Painting Description
"Night Hawk, Plate Cxlvii" is an artistic representation by John James Audubon, a noted 19th-century ornithologist, naturalist, and painter renowned for his studies and illustrations of North American birds. This illustration is part of his monumental work, "The Birds of America," a series of illustrations depicting various species of birds in their natural habitats. Published between 1827 and 1838, the collection comprises 435 life-size prints made from hand-engraved plates.
In "Night Hawk, Plate Cxlvii," Audubon portrays a Night Hawk, scientifically known as Chordeiles minor, a nocturnal bird common in North America. The illustration accurately captures the bird mid-flight, showcasing its broad wings and slightly forked tail, in line with Audubon's dedication to detail and realism. This depiction is also culturally significant as it reflects an ongoing scientific and public interest in ornithology and natural history in the 19th century.
Like all the works within "The Birds of America," "Night Hawk, Plate Cxlvii" reflects Audubon's unique aesthetic approach, combining scientific exactitude with artistic flair. Audubon's revolutionary depiction of birds in active poses, often in their natural environment, marks a departure from the stiff profile portraits that prevailed before his time, thereby ensuring his legacy in both the fields of art and science.
