Painting Description
"Red Texan Wolf (plate Lxxxii)" is a notable illustration by John James Audubon, an eminent American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter renowned for his detailed studies and illustrations of North American birds. This particular work is part of Audubon's ambitious project, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which he undertook in collaboration with his sons, John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon, and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The project aimed to document and illustrate the diverse mammalian fauna of North America, much like Audubon's earlier and more famous work, "The Birds of America."
Audubon’s illustration of the Red Texan Wolf captures the animal in a lifelike and dynamic pose, showcasing his exceptional ability to blend scientific accuracy with artistic beauty. The wolf is depicted in its natural habitat, emphasizing the intricate details of its fur, posture, and expression. This meticulous attention to detail not only highlights Audubon’s artistic talent but also his dedication to the scientific study of wildlife.
The Red Texan Wolf, scientifically known as Canis rufus, is a subspecies of the red wolf, which historically roamed the southeastern United States, including Texas. Audubon’s work provides valuable insight into the appearance and behavior of this elusive and endangered species during the 19th century. His illustrations serve as an important historical record, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of North America's natural heritage.
"The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" was published in three volumes between 1845 and 1848, featuring 150 hand-colored lithographs. Audubon’s collaboration with the lithographer J.T. Bowen ensured that the illustrations were reproduced with high fidelity, preserving the vivid colors and intricate details of the original paintings. Today, these works are celebrated for their artistic and scientific significance, and they continue to be a valuable resource for naturalists, historians, and art enthusiasts alike.
