EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a female Great curassow, also known as Curasso or Crax rubra. The vulnerable bird species is depicted in a handcoloured copperplate engraving from an illustration by M (Matilda) Hayes, featured in William Hayes' Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park. The delicate details captured in this 18th-century artwork highlight the intricate patterns on the curassow's feathers and its graceful posture. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to the image, enhancing its visual appeal. William Hayes' collection offers a glimpse into the world of ornithology during this period, showcasing rare and curious birds found within Osterly Park. This particular illustration serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic talent prevalent during that era. As we admire this stunning portrayal, it is important to note that the Great curassow is classified as vulnerable today due to habitat loss and hunting. This photograph reminds us not only of their remarkable beauty but also our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for future generations. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and cherish this remarkable piece of avian artistry.
