Painting Description
The American Water Ouzel (plate Ccclxx) Cinclus Americanus is a notable illustration by Robert I. Havell, an esteemed engraver and artist, who played a significant role in the production of John James Audubon's seminal work, "The Birds of America." This particular plate, numbered Ccclxx, features the American Dipper, also known as the Water Ouzel, a bird renowned for its unique aquatic habits and distinctive appearance. The illustration is a testament to Havell's meticulous craftsmanship and his ability to bring Audubon's vision to life through detailed and vibrant engravings.
Havell's collaboration with Audubon began in the early 1830s, and together they produced one of the most ambitious and comprehensive ornithological works of the 19th century. "The Birds of America" is celebrated for its life-sized depictions of North American bird species, rendered with extraordinary accuracy and artistic flair. Havell's expertise in aquatint engraving and his attention to detail were crucial in achieving the high quality and realism that characterize the plates in this collection.
The American Water Ouzel, depicted in plate Ccclxx, is shown in its natural habitat, often near fast-flowing streams and rivers. The bird is illustrated with its characteristic slate-gray plumage and white eyelids, capturing its essence and behavior. The background of the plate typically includes elements of the bird's environment, such as rocks and flowing water, which are rendered with the same precision and care as the bird itself.
This plate, like others in the series, serves not only as a scientific record but also as a work of art, reflecting the intersection of natural history and artistic expression. Havell's contribution to "The Birds of America" remains highly regarded, and his engravings continue to be appreciated for their beauty and historical significance. The American Water Ouzel (plate Ccclxx) stands as a fine example of his skill and dedication to the art of ornithological illustration.
