EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century illustration showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed depiction of an Asian Crested Parrot, painted by the skilled Dutch artist Pieter Cornelius de Bevere during his tenure as Governor's Artist for J.G. Loten, the Dutch Governor of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) between 1752 and 1757. The illustration is part of a larger collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, which De Bevere created during his time in Ceylon and the Malay Archipelago between 1754 and 1757. The Asian Crested Parrot, with its distinctive blue plumage and prominent crest, is a native bird of Southeast Asia. This beautiful avian species, belonging to the order Psittaciformes and the class Sauropsida, is a captivating example of the rich biodiversity found in the region during that era. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration allows us to appreciate the intricacies of the parrot's feathers, beak, and crest, as well as the subtle variations in color and texture. The illustration, which dates back to around 1772-1781, provides us with a valuable glimpse into the natural history of the region during the 18th century. De Bevere's exceptional artistic skills and dedication to accurately recording the natural world make this illustration a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history art or ornithology. The Asian Crested Parrot remains an iconic symbol of the natural beauty and diversity of Asia, and this illustration serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 18th century.
