EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15 of the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings presents a stunning and intricately detailed watercolour painting of Lorius garrulus flavopalliatus, commonly known as the chattering lory or the yellow-collared lory. This beautiful parrot species is depicted in the painting by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a renowned Flemish artist of the 18th century. The chattering lory is a vibrant and exotic bird, belonging to the order Psittaciformes and the family Psittacidae. It is native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea and the surrounding islands. The bird's plumage is a striking combination of green, yellow, and orange, with a distinctive yellow collar around its neck. The painting captures the lory's expressive face, with its bright red eyes and beak, and the intricate patterns on its wings and tail. The painting is a testament to the artistic mastery of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, who expertly captured the beauty and detail of this exotic bird species. The Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings, which includes this painting, was created between 1754 and 1757, during de Bevere's most productive period. The collection is renowned for its high-quality illustrations of a wide range of animals, birds, insects, and plants, and is an important historical record of natural history. The chattering lory is a fascinating bird, known for its distinctive vocalizations, which sound like a series of chatters and clicks. It is an important seed-eating bird in its native habitat, and plays a crucial role in the dispersal of seeds. The painting not only showcases the beauty of this bird species but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of the 18th century, and the fascination with the exotic and the natural world during that time.
