The Painted Finch, Cock and Hen
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning coloured engraving that captures the beauty of these exquisite birds. Created by George Edwards in the 18th century, this print showcases his meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill. Originally engraved for Edwards' renowned works "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History" this particular version was re-engraved by Michael Seligmann, a German engraver and art dealer. Seligmann combined Edwards' plates with the work of Mark Catesby, translating names into German and adding additional figures and plants not present in the original prints. The result is a truly unique piece that seamlessly blends two great natural history collections into one extraordinary composition. The vibrant colours of the painted finches come to life on the page, their feathers meticulously depicted with intricate precision. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also acts as an important historical document showcasing both scientific exploration and artistic collaboration during this period. It offers us a glimpse into the world of ornithology at that time while highlighting the talent and dedication of artists like George Edwards and Michael Seligmann. Whether you are an avid bird lover or simply appreciate fine art, "The Painted Finch, Cock and Hen" is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless beauty.
