EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 32: Ceryle rudis, the Pied Kingfisher, in a stunning watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, created between 1754 and 1757. This exquisite illustration showcases the distinctive features of this striking bird, with its bold mottled plumage of black and white stripes, long, decurved bill, and piercing gaze. The Pied Kingfisher, also known as the River Kingfisher or Sauropsida Ceryle, is a member of the Coraciiformes order and the Alcedinidae family. It is a common bird found in the Old World, inhabiting rivers, streams, and wetlands. De Bevere's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered feathers, the subtle textures of the branch, and the lifelike representation of the bird's posture. The artist, born in Antwerp in 1710, was a renowned naturalist and illustrator of his time, producing a vast body of work that documented the natural world with great accuracy and beauty. This watercolor painting, executed around 1781, is a testament to his skill and dedication to capturing the essence of the natural world. The Pied Kingfisher is a remarkable bird, known for its agility and hunting prowess. It perches on a branch, poised to strike at its prey with lightning speed, using its powerful bill to deliver a fatal blow. The bird's vibrant plumage serves as excellent camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings and ambush its prey. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird and the artistic mastery of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere.
