EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 43: Terpsiphone paradisi, the Asian Paradise-flycatcher, is depicted in this stunning 18th-century painting by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. The Asian Paradise-flycatcher is a long-tailed, grey bird belonging to the Monarchidae family, known for its distinctive crest and vibrant plumage. This illustration showcases the bird perched on a branch, its beak pointed towards a beautiful angiosperm flower. Angiosperms, or flowering plants, were a relatively new discovery during the 18th century, and their integration into natural history illustrations represented a significant advancement in scientific understanding. The Asian Paradise-flycatcher is native to Asia and is often found in open woodlands and gardens. This exquisite painting, created between 1754 and 1757, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the intricate details of both the bird and the flower. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1710-1789) was a Flemish artist who specialized in natural history illustrations. The Loten Collection, which includes this painting, was compiled by Joan Gideon Loten (1722-1781), a Dutch naturalist and collector. The collection is now housed in various museums and libraries around the world, providing valuable insights into the natural history of the past.
