EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Douce Ornament Prints Album I, created by Virgil Solis in 1572, showcases twelve distinct species of birds. Each bird is meticulously labeled and positioned on a minimal ground, creating an exquisite composition that draws the viewer's attention. Amongst this avian ensemble are notable creatures such as an owl and pelican, adding an element of intrigue to the scene. The birds are not alone in this enchanting display; they are surrounded by delicate insects including a moth, butterfly, and ladybug. These tiny creatures add a touch of whimsy to the overall image and create a harmonious balance between nature's diverse inhabitants. Solis' masterful engraving technique is evident in every detail of this print. The lines are precise and intricate, capturing the essence of each bird with remarkable accuracy. The use of monochrome further enhances the elegance and timelessness of this artwork. As we gaze upon this piece from centuries ago, we can't help but marvel at Solis' ability to bring these creatures to life on paper. This print serves as a testament to his skill as both an artist and printmaker. Displayed proudly within the Ashmolean Museum collection, this stunning work invites us into a world where birds soar through minimalist landscapes while insects dance around them—a true celebration of wildlife captured forever in ink.
