EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Iceland or Jer Falcon, also known as Gyrfalcon, from John James Audubon's renowned work "The Birds of America". With its aquatint and engraving technique complemented by delicate hand-colouring, this artwork captures the essence of these magnificent birds in all their glory. In this image, a pair of Gyrfalcons can be seen perched on a rugged cliff. Their regal presence is undeniable as they stand tall and proud against the backdrop of nature's grandeur. The intricate details captured by Audubon bring these raptors to life, allowing us to appreciate their beauty up close. The falcons' intense gaze suggests a moment frozen in time - perhaps during their mating season when they establish strong bonds with each other. It is a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, love and companionship play an essential role. Audubon's expertise shines through his masterful engravings, showcasing his dedication to capturing not only the physical attributes but also the spirit and character of each bird he depicted. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to merge scientific accuracy with artistic expression seamlessly. As we admire this extraordinary print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of our planet's diverse wildlife and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
