EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of a Greater black-backed gull (Larus marinus) or herring gull (Larus argentatus), known as Zee-Meeuwe in Dutch. The image captures the essence of this magnificent bird, with its striking black back and wings contrasting against its white plumage. The photograph is part of a larger collection titled "Larus Marinus / Mouette" which features various species of birds meticulously drawn and documented around 1600. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this particular album is the third in a series of twelve albums that depict animals, birds, and plants from that era. Displayed on the top right corner is the number 14, indicating its place within the album's sequence. Additionally, there are three languages featured: Dutch, Latin, and French - providing explanations about these water-birds commonly referred to as SEA-GULLs. Anselmus Boetius de Boodt skillfully created this artwork using paper as his canvas for watercolor paint, deck paint, pencil sketches, chalk accents, ink detailing with pen strokes. The dimensions measure approximately 266 mm in height by 181 mm in width. This extraordinary print transports viewers back to a time when nature's wonders were carefully observed and recorded for posterity. It serves as an exquisite reminder of our rich natural heritage and invites us to appreciate the intricate details found within even the most common creatures like sea-gulls.
