Painting Description
"Yellow Billed Cuckoo (Plate II)" is an artwork by John James Audubon, featured in his monumental work, "The Birds of America," which was published as a series in sections between 1827 and 1838. This particular plate beautifully illustrates the Yellow-billed Cuckoo, scientifically known as *Coccyzus americanus*, perched amidst a natural setting that highlights Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to portraying birds within their natural habitats.
Audubon's technique involved first observing and then shooting the birds, after which he would pose them using wires to mimic natural positions. This method allowed him to create highly detailed and accurate representations, which were then rendered into prints using the aquatint engraving process. "The Birds of America" is renowned for its life-size prints, made from hand-engraved plates, and is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed.
"Yellow Billed Cuckoo (Plate II)" not only showcases Audubon's artistic skill but also serves as an important historical record of the species within its environment during the early 19th century. This plate, like others in the series, contributes to the understanding and appreciation of bird species in North America, reflecting both the biodiversity of the continent and the emerging scientific interest in ornithology at the time.
