EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of nature's feathered wonders. Titled "Crested Partridge and Buttonquail" this 19th-century masterpiece by Corsi takes us on a journey into the enchanting world of ornithology. The image features two distinct species, each with its own unique charm. The Crested Partridge, scientifically known as Rollulus rouloul, stands proudly in all its regal splendor. Its vibrant plumage and majestic crest make it a true symbol of grace and elegance. Next to it is the Madagascar Buttonquail, also referred to as Turnix nigricollis or Turnix nigrifrons. This petite bird captivates with its delicate features and subtle coloring. With its intricate patterns and dainty appearance, it adds an element of intrigue to this composition. Handcolored using copperplate stipple engraving techniques, this illustration exudes a timeless allure that transports us back to the early 19th century. Created under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of France's most esteemed botanical illustrators at that time, this artwork reflects his exceptional talent for capturing nature's essence. Published in Florence in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, this print serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with science and natural history throughout the ages. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another gem from their Fine Art Finder collection – an extraordinary blend of artistry and scientific exploration that continues to inspire awe even centuries later.
