Painting Description
The "Framed Audubon Elephant Folio Vulpes Fulvus" by John T. Bowen is a distinguished piece of natural history art that captures the essence of the red fox, scientifically known as Vulpes vulpes. This artwork is part of the renowned "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" series, a monumental project initiated by the celebrated naturalist and painter John James Audubon. The series, which aimed to document the diverse mammalian fauna of North America, was published between 1845 and 1848 and is considered one of the most significant contributions to 19th-century natural history illustration.
John T. Bowen, a prominent lithographer of the time, played a crucial role in bringing Audubon's vision to life. Bowen's expertise in lithography allowed for the intricate details and vibrant colors of Audubon's original watercolors to be faithfully reproduced. The "Elephant Folio" designation refers to the large size of the prints, which measure approximately 22 by 28 inches, providing a grand and detailed view of the subjects.
The depiction of Vulpes fulvus in this folio is a testament to the meticulous observation and artistic skill of both Audubon and Bowen. The red fox is portrayed in a lifelike manner, with attention to its characteristic features such as the reddish-brown fur, bushy tail, and sharp, intelligent eyes. The background of the print often includes elements of the fox's natural habitat, adding context and depth to the illustration.
The framed version of this folio adds an element of preservation and display, making it a cherished piece for collectors and enthusiasts of natural history art. The framing not only protects the delicate print but also enhances its aesthetic appeal, allowing it to be showcased as a centerpiece in various settings.
Overall, the "Framed Audubon Elephant Folio Vulpes Fulvus" by John T. Bowen represents a significant intersection of art, science, and history, reflecting the collaborative efforts of Audubon and Bowen to document and celebrate the wildlife of North America.
