EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 78: Ducula bicolor, the Pied Imperial Pigeon, as exquisitely depicted in this 18th-century watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere from the Loten Collection. The Imperial Pigeon, also known as the Pied Imperial Pigeon or the Blue-spotted Imperial Pigeon, is a native of the Pacific Islands, specifically New Guinea and its surrounding islands. This majestic bird is a member of the Columbidae family, order Columbiformes, and the class Sauropsida. The Imperial Pigeon is characterized by its long, slender neck, iridescent green and purple plumage, and distinctive white underwings with black spots. In this painting, the bird is perched gracefully on a long, gnarled branch, its head turned slightly to the side as it gazes intently at the viewer. The artist, Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, expertly captures the intricacies of the Imperial Pigeon's feathers, the subtle shades of color, and the delicate curves of its form. De Bevere, born in Antwerp in 1710, was a renowned artist of the 18th century, known for his detailed and accurate illustrations of birds, mammals, insects, and plants. His work was highly regarded for its beauty and scientific accuracy, making it a valuable addition to the Loten Collection. The painting, dating from around 1754-57, is a testament to the artist's skill and the natural history of the time. The Imperial Pigeon was also known for its culinary value, as its meat was considered a delicacy in European markets. However, this painting is not a commercial representation of the bird, but rather a work of art that celebrates its natural beauty and captivating presence.
