EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Le Grand Duc, Eagle-Owl" by Claude Fessard, a renowned French artist of the late 18th and early 19th century. The hand-coloured engraving, published in Paris between 1799 and 1808, is part of the iconic Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux d'Afrique by Francois Levaillant. The image depicts a majestic eagle-owl with its striking yellow eyes and intricate plumage. Set against a pristine white background, the owl's intense gaze captures our attention while its brown feathers create an exquisite contrast. This close-up view allows us to appreciate every detail of this magnificent bird of prey. Fessard's meticulous hand colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. The artist's skillful technique brings life to each stroke, making this print a true masterpiece. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness nature's beauty through the eyes of both artist and writer. The owl stands as a symbol of wisdom and power, reminding us of the awe-inspiring wonders that exist within our natural world. With no human presence in sight, we can fully immerse ourselves in the splendor of this creature's existence. Through this photograph print, we are invited to appreciate not only Fessard's artistic talent but also the magnificence inherent in all living beings that inhabit our planet.
