EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Douce Ornament Prints Album I, created by Virgil Solis in 1540, transports us to a world of intricate beauty and delicate harmony. In this enchanting scene, we are greeted by ten birds perched on small foliage tendrils, each one exquisitely detailed and lifelike. At the center of attention is a stork skillfully tying a tendril around the leg of a majestic pelican. The stork's graceful movements symbolize unity and connection among these diverse creatures. A peacock proudly displays its vibrant plumage nearby, adding an element of regality to the composition. In the foreground, we encounter a large beetle with its distinctive form and texture captured flawlessly by Solis' engraving technique. This unexpected presence adds an intriguing contrast to the ethereal atmosphere surrounding it. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every feather, leaf, and tendril in this mesmerizing print. Each bird - be it the heron or hoopoe - seems frozen in time yet brimming with life. As we delve into this masterpiece from centuries past, we find ourselves immersed in nature's wonders and reminded of its boundless diversity. Solis' work serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to our planet's rich tapestry of life.
