EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Albert Flamen, featured in the renowned "Livre d Oyseaux" (Book of Birds) from 1655-1660. The focus of this particular piece is the majestic Lapwing, known as Vanellus Cristacus or Vanellus Vulgaris in scientific terms. Flamen's etching skillfully captures the intricate details and beauty of this remarkable bird. The Lapwing, also referred to as peewit or plover, is a symbol of nature's splendor and grace. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a serene countryside landscape, it evokes feelings of tranquility and harmony with its presence. This image transports viewers back to the seventeenth century when natural history was celebrated through art and literature. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to Flamen's talent as well as his contribution to both science and artistic expression during that era. It invites us to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also the scientific significance behind such masterpieces. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing depiction, we are reminded once again that wildlife has long been an inspiration for artists throughout history. Through their creations like "Vanellus" they bring us closer to nature's wonders while preserving them for generations to come.
