Painting Description
"Plate Cxli, commonly known as 'Goshawk And Stanley Hawk,' is a distinguished work by Robert Havell Jr., an eminent engraver and aquatint artist of the 19th century. This plate is part of the monumental series 'The Birds of America,' which was a collaborative effort between Havell and the renowned naturalist and painter John James Audubon. Published between 1827 and 1838, 'The Birds of America' is celebrated for its life-sized depictions of North American bird species and is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed.
Robert Havell Jr. played a crucial role in the production of 'The Birds of America,' translating Audubon's detailed watercolors into the exquisite hand-colored engravings that make up the series. His technical skill and artistic sensitivity ensured that each plate captured the intricate details and vibrant colors of Audubon's original paintings. 'Goshawk And Stanley Hawk' exemplifies this meticulous craftsmanship, showcasing the dynamic poses and lifelike textures of the birds.
The plate features two species of hawks, the Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and the Stanley Hawk, which is a colloquial name for the Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus). The composition is both scientifically accurate and artistically compelling, reflecting the natural behaviors and habitats of these raptors. The Goshawk is depicted in a striking pose, its keen eyes and powerful talons emphasizing its predatory nature, while the Stanley Hawk is shown in a more serene stance, highlighting its distinctive plumage and graceful form.
'Goshawk And Stanley Hawk' is not only a testament to the collaborative genius of Audubon and Havell but also a valuable historical document that provides insight into the avian biodiversity of 19th-century North America. Today, this plate, along with the rest of 'The Birds of America,' is highly prized by collectors, historians, and ornithologists alike, and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and scientific significance."
