Two Curlews: A Beautiful Depiction of Dutch Eighteenth-Century Natural History by Aert Schouman This stunning watercolor on paper, titled "Two Curlews" and created by Aert Schouman in 1777, offers a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the Netherlands during the eighteenth century. Schouman, a prominent Dutch artist of the time, masterfully captured the intricate details and vibrant colors of these wading birds, known as curlews or grielen, in their natural habitat. The scene is set against a serene backdrop of a tranquil shoreline, with the curlews standing gracefully on the sand, their long, curved beaks pointed towards the water's edge. The artist's skillful use of color and shading brings the birds to life, showcasing the intricacies of their feathers and the subtle textures of their environment. Curlews, or Numenius arquata, are a type of shorebird that can be found in Europe, Asia, and North America. They are characterized by their distinctive, upward-curved beaks, which they use to probe the sand and mud for food. In the Netherlands, curlews were a common sight along the coastline and in the marshes, making them a popular subject for Dutch artists of the time. This beautiful watercolor is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the eighteenth century, and a reminder of the importance of preserving natural history through art. Today, it can be found in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
