Plate 14: Eos rubra, or the Red Lory, beautifully depicted in this 18th century painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of coloured drawings. This illustration showcases the vibrant plumage of this exotic bird, with its fiery orange chest and underbelly contrasting against its electric blue and green wings. The lory is perched gracefully on a branch, its long, curved beak poised as if ready to pluck a nut from its surroundings. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a Flemish artist born in 1710, was a renowned naturalist and illustrator of his time. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning representation of Eos rubra, which is also known as Eos bornea or the Bornean lory. The red lory is a type of parrot or parakeet, native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. This illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, is a testament to the exquisite artistry and naturalistic accuracy of the 18th century. The intricate details of the lory's feathers, the texture of the branch, and the lifelike quality of the bird's expression all contribute to a captivating and immersive visual experience. Joan Gideon Loten, a Dutch physician and naturalist, compiled this impressive collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. The Loten Collection is a valuable resource for ornithologists, natural historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world. This image of the Red Lory is a stunning example of the beauty and diversity of the avian world during the 18th century. Its vivid colors and intricate details continue to captivate and inspire us today.
