The Parrot of Paradise, 1771
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-coloured engraving by British artist Mark Catesby. This exquisite print, measuring 51.7x37 cm, showcases the vibrant beauty of a parrot perched on a twig in its natural habitat. The artwork is part of Catesby's renowned publication "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama islands" published in 1771. In this close-up view, we are drawn into the intricate details of the parrot's plumage and its striking red feathers that contrast against the leafy surroundings. The artist's skillful hand colouring brings life to every stroke and adds depth to this late eighteenth-century masterpiece. As we observe this magnificent creature, it seems to turn away from our gaze with an air of aversion or perhaps curiosity. Its piercing yellow eyes captivate us as it stands tall on its perch with elegance and grace. Catesby's illustration not only captures the physical attributes but also depicts the bird's behavior within its environment. The parrot appears engrossed in its surroundings while showcasing typical animal behavior. This hand-coloured engraving transports us back to North America during the late 18th century when these majestic birds roamed freely across Carolina and other regions. It serves as a reminder of nature's wonders and invites us to appreciate both artistry and wildlife preservation. Displayed here is just one page from Catesby's extensive body of work that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
