EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 40 of the Loten Collection presents an exquisite 18th century illustration of the vibrant and captivating Pericrocotus flammeus, also known as the scarlet minivet. This stunning painting by Pieter Cornelius de Bevere showcases the bird's bold orange plumage, which is particularly prominent on its belly and underparts. The minivet is perched gracefully on a thin branch, displaying its anatomical features with remarkable detail. The scarlet minivet is a passerine bird belonging to the family Campephagidae, native to Southeast Asia. This bird is a popular sight during the daytime hours, making it a common avian visitor in the region. The minivet's head is adorned with a distinctive black mask, contrasting sharply with its fiery orange body. Its beak is curved and hooked, a characteristic feature of the minivet family. This illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the 18th century. The Loten Collection, compiled by Joan Gideon Loten between 1710 and 1789, is a valuable resource for ornithological research and a visual feast for bird enthusiasts. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a renowned Flemish artist, was a significant contributor to this collection, producing numerous illustrations of birds, mammals, insects, and plants with remarkable accuracy and beauty. The scarlet minivet's vivid orange coloration and striking appearance make it a beloved subject for birdwatchers and naturalists alike. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird and the artistic prowess of the 18th century. The minivet's perch outside, against a backdrop of lush greenery, adds to the serene and picturesque scene, making it a delight for the eyes and a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art.
