Plate 22: Picus miniaceus, the Banded Woodpecker, in a stunning 18th century illustration by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. This exquisite painting, created between 1754 and 1757, showcases the intricate details of this distinctive woodpecker. With its bold red crest, black and white banded plumage, and a rump adorned with a series of small, white spots, the Picus miniaceus is a visual treat. The woodpecker is depicted perched on a tree trunk, its sharp beak poised for drilling into the bark in search of insects hiding beneath. The artist, Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, masterfully captures the intensity and focus in the bird's eyes, as well as the delicate texture of its feathers. The background features a lush, green forest, adding to the overall sense of depth and realism. Born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1710, Pieter Cornelis de Bevere was a renowned naturalist artist of his time. His work was highly regarded for its accuracy and attention to detail, making him an ideal choice for the Loten Collection. The collection, compiled by Joan Gideon Loten, was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of natural history during the 18th century. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the artistic skill of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere. The Picus miniaceus, with its striking appearance and unique characteristics, continues to captivate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike, making this illustration an essential addition to any collection of natural history art.
