The Highest Honour - A Vibrant Celebration of Animal Hierarchy in 19th Century Germany
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour lithograph, titled "The Highest Honour" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of German farm animals during the 19th century. Created by an anonymous German School artist and now part of a private collection, this print was originally featured in the renowned Dusseldorfer Jugend Album, published by Von Arnz in 1857. In this lively scene, birds and other creatures take center stage as they navigate their intricate social order. A majestic rooster proudly perches atop a wooden fence, symbolizing his dominance within the pecking order. Surrounding him are hens and chickens, each aware of their place within this hierarchical structure. Beyond poultry, we also spot ducks wading gracefully nearby while turkeys strut with confidence amidst the bustling activity. This rich tapestry showcases not only various species but also highlights cultural aspects associated with German farming practices at that time. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, "The Highest Honour" invites us to reflect on our own societal structures while celebrating the diversity found in nature's kingdom. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and our enduring fascination with animal behavior. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us marvel at how it captures not just wildlife but also glimpses into historical European culture—a true treasure for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
