EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 19: Chrysocolaptes lucidus, the Greater Flame-backed Woodpecker, is depicted in this stunning 18th-century painting by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. The Greater Flame-backed Woodpecker is native to Asia, specifically Sri Lanka and southern India. This magnificent bird is easily identified by its distinctive crest, bright red nape, and buff-spotted black and white plumage. The Greater Flame-backed Woodpecker is a skilled driller, using its powerful beak to hollow out trees and search for insects and larvae. This painting, created between 1754 and 1757, showcases the intricate details of the bird's anatomy and the vibrant colors of its feathers. Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, also known as Pieter the Elder, was a Flemish painter active between 1710 and 1789. His work was highly regarded during his time and contributed significantly to the field of ornithology. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the 18th century's naturalists and their dedication to documenting the natural world. The Loten Collection, compiled by Joan and Gideon Elphick, is a valuable resource for ornithologists and art historians alike, providing a glimpse into the natural history of the past and the artistic traditions of the time.
