Painting Description
The Audubon Elephant Folio Enhydra Marina is an exquisite illustration created by John T. Bowen, a prominent lithographer of the 19th century. This work is part of the larger collection known as the "Birds of America" series, which was originally conceived by the renowned naturalist and painter John James Audubon. The "Birds of America" series is celebrated for its detailed and life-sized depictions of various bird species found across the United States, and it remains one of the most significant ornithological works ever published.
John T. Bowen played a crucial role in bringing Audubon's vision to life through his expertise in lithography. Lithography, a printing process that involves drawing on a flat stone or metal plate with a greasy substance, allowed for the production of high-quality, detailed prints. Bowen's skillful execution of Audubon's designs ensured that the intricate details and vibrant colors of the original paintings were faithfully reproduced in the folio.
The term "Elephant Folio" refers to the large size of the pages used in this series, measuring approximately 39 by 26 inches. This grand scale allowed for the depiction of birds in their actual size, providing viewers with a more immersive and accurate representation of each species. The Enhydra Marina illustration, like others in the series, showcases Audubon's commitment to scientific accuracy and artistic excellence.
The collaboration between Audubon and Bowen resulted in a collection that not only advanced the field of ornithology but also set new standards for natural history illustration. The Audubon Elephant Folio Enhydra Marina stands as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and dedication of both men, and it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts, historians, and naturalists alike.
