Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, a name that resonates with the beauty and diversity of nature. Just like an Asian parrot illustration, his work brings vibrant colors and intricate details to life. With artworks such as 1460572 and 1460568, he captures the essence of each subject, showcasing their unique characteristics. One cannot help but be mesmerized by his portrayal of the Indian peafowl in artwork C016 / 5610. The majestic feathers seem to dance on canvas, while the Box crab in artwork C016 / 5611 displays its delicate yet fascinating features. De Bevere's talent extends beyond birds and crustaceans; he also immortalizes creatures like the Sri Lankan spotted chevrotain (artwork C013 / 6576) and Purple-face langur (18th-century artwork C013 / 6575). Through his brushstrokes, these animals come alive before our eyes. The Grizzled giant squirrel (artwork C013 / 6574) showcases De Bevere's ability to capture even the smallest details. Its fur seems almost touchable, while the Atlas moth (18th-century artwork C013 / 6573) exudes an ethereal beauty that is hard to resist. Intriguingly enough, De Bevere doesn't limit himself to illustrating only adult creatures; he also delves into capturing stages of metamorphosis. Emperor moth caterpillars (artwork C013 / 6572) showcase this aspect beautifully alongside other captivating pieces like Physalia physallis or Portuguese man-of-war. Lastly, we can't forget about Attacus atlas or atlas moth - a symbol of transformation itself. De Bevere's depiction takes us on a journey from cocooned caterpillar to magnificent winged creature. Through his artistry and attention to detail, Pieter Cornelius de Bevere invites us into a world where nature's wonders are immortalized on canvas.
