Painting Description
"Red-tailed Squirrel, No. 11, Plate 55" is an exquisite illustration by the renowned naturalist and painter John James Audubon. This artwork is part of Audubon's monumental series "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which was published between 1845 and 1848. The series, created in collaboration with the Reverend John Bachman and lithographer John T. Bowen, aimed to document and depict the diverse mammalian fauna of North America with the same meticulous detail and artistic flair that Audubon had previously applied to his celebrated bird illustrations in "The Birds of America."
In "Red-tailed Squirrel, No. 11, Plate 55," Audubon captures the essence of the red-tailed squirrel, scientifically known as Sciurus hudsonius. The illustration showcases the squirrel in a dynamic pose, highlighting its distinctive red tail and agile form. Audubon's keen eye for detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the squirrel's fur and the naturalistic portrayal of its habitat. The background features elements of the squirrel's natural environment, providing context and enhancing the realism of the scene.
Audubon's work is not only a testament to his artistic talent but also to his dedication to the study of North American wildlife. His illustrations were based on extensive field observations and specimens collected during his travels. This commitment to accuracy and detail has made his works invaluable to both art and science.
The publication of "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" was a significant achievement in the 19th century, contributing to the broader understanding and appreciation of North American mammals. Audubon's collaboration with Bachman, a respected naturalist and clergyman, and Bowen, a skilled lithographer, ensured that the series was both scientifically accurate and artistically compelling.
"Red-tailed Squirrel, No. 11, Plate 55" remains a celebrated example of Audubon's legacy, reflecting his passion for nature and his exceptional ability to bring the wildlife of North America to life through his art.
