Painting Description
"Large Tailed Skunk" is a lithograph created by John T. Bowen, an American lithographer known for his work in the 19th century. The lithograph is part of a series that was produced to illustrate the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, a work by John James Audubon and his sons, John Woodhouse and Victor Gifford Audubon. The publication, which was issued in parts between 1845 and 1848, is an extensive study of North American mammals, akin to Audubon's earlier and more famous work, The Birds of America.
John T. Bowen's "Large Tailed Skunk" captures the detailed physical characteristics and natural posture of the skunk, showcasing the animal in a realistic and scientifically accurate manner, which was a hallmark of Audubon's approach to wildlife illustration. The lithograph reflects the meticulous attention to detail and the artistic quality that were necessary to convey the findings of Audubon's research to both the scientific community and the interested public.
As a significant piece of American natural history art, "Large Tailed Skunk" not only serves as an example of John T. Bowen's craftsmanship but also contributes to the legacy of John James Audubon's influential work in ornithology and natural science illustration. The lithograph is an important historical document, providing insight into the methods of scientific documentation and artistic representation during the period, as well as contributing to the broader understanding of North American wildlife.
The "Large Tailed Skunk" lithograph is held in various collections and has been referenced in exhibitions and catalogs concerning American natural history art, Audubon's works, and the history of lithography in the United States. It remains a subject of interest for historians, art collectors, and naturalists alike, representing a convergence of art and science during a time when America was still exploring and documenting its natural heritage.
