EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Great Green Macaw, also known as Ara ambiguus. With its vibrant green feathers and striking red patches on its face, this endangered species is a true marvel of nature. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Lizars beautifully captures the intricate details of this exotic bird. The illustration was originally created by Edward Lear for Prideaux J. Selby's "The Natural History of Parrots" which was part of Sir William Jardine's renowned "Naturalists Library: Ornithology". Published in Edinburgh in 1836, this masterpiece highlights the diversity and beauty found within the avian world. Lizars' expertise in engraving brings out every feather and contour with precision, making this artwork a testament to his skill as an artist. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these incredible creatures and their natural habitats. Displayed against a neutral background, the Great Green Macaw takes center stage, commanding attention with its regal presence. Its distinct features make it easily distinguishable from other macaws such as Buffon's Macaw or the Great Military Macaw (also known as Macrocercus militaris). Bridgeman Images has expertly reproduced this image from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate and admire this stunning portrayal of one of nature's most extraordinary creations – the Great Green Macaw.
