1842 1912 Bald Beak Birds The Art Of Ornithology Bucerotidae Bucerotiformes Crest Elphick Eudicot Eurosid Angiospermae Dicot Dicotyledon


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour and gouache painting depicts the Yellow-casqued Hornbill, Ceratagymna elata, a striking avian species native to the forests of Central and West Africa. The bird is named for its distinctive yellow casque, a helmet-like structure above its beak, which is thought to amplify its calls and serve as a visual display during mating rituals. The Yellow-casqued Hornbill is a member of the Bucerotidae family, order Bucerotiformes, and is classified as an eudicot within the Angiospermae, a group of flowering plants that includes angiosperms, dicotyledons, and monocotyledons. The Eurosid clade, to which Ceratagymna belongs, is a large and diverse group of dicotyledonous plants. The painting captures the intricate details of the bird's anatomy, from its bald head and blue eyes to the intricately patterned feathers covering its body. The bird is perched on a branch, its beak slightly open as if in the midst of a call or a search for food. The painting's vibrant colors and lifelike details offer a glimpse into the natural world of the Yellow-casqued Hornbill and the rich biodiversity of the African forest ecosystem. This beautiful work of art was created in the late 19th century by the renowned Dutch natural history illustrator John Gerrard Keulemans. Keulemans was a prolific artist who produced numerous illustrations of birds and other natural history subjects for various scientific publications and private collectors. His meticulous attention to detail and mastery of various painting techniques made him one of the most celebrated ornithological illustrators of his time. The painting is a testament to the art of ornithology, which combines scientific observation and artistic skill to create accurate and visually stunning representations of the natural world. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's diverse bird species and the role that art and science can play in documenting and celebrating their beauty and complexity.
