Painting Description
Prideaux John Selby (1788–1867) was a British ornithologist, botanist, and artist known for his detailed illustrations of birds and other natural subjects. One of his notable works includes the illustration titled "Stork, Plate LXXXVII, 'Black-Throated Diver', 'Red-Throated Diver, Young'" from his publication "Illustrations of British Ornithology." This work is part of a series that was highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and artistic quality, contributing significantly to ornithological studies in the UK during the 19th century.
The illustration in question features multiple species, focusing on the stork and two types of divers: the black-throated diver and the red-throated diver, with an emphasis on the juvenile stages of the latter. Selby's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and lifelike portrayal of the subjects, which was achieved through his skills in etching and watercolor painting. These illustrations were important not only for their artistic merit but also for their role in the study and documentation of British avian species, providing valuable insights into their morphology and behavior.
"Stork, Plate LXXXVII, 'Black-Throated Diver', 'Red-Throated Diver, Young'" exemplifies Selby's contribution to ornithology and art, reflecting both his passion for natural history and his prowess as an illustrator. This piece, like others in the series, serves as a crucial historical document and continues to be appreciated by both scientific and artistic communities.
