"Feathers: A Captivating Journey Through Art and Nature" Step into the enchanting world of feathers with this captivating collection of artworks. From The Aviary in Clifton, 1888, a watercolor on paper that transports you to a serene bird sanctuary, to The Chinese Goose and The Magpie, both beautifully depicted in gouache on linen, these pieces celebrate the intricate beauty of our avian friends. White Hen and Chickens, c. 1901 showcases the delicate touch of chalk, pencil, and wash on paper as it captures the essence of farm life. Meanwhile, The Pigeon and Pigeons on the Roof transport us to urban landscapes where these birds gracefully navigate their surroundings. In Spanish Cock and Snail we witness an exquisite display of colors through gouache on linen. Vivien from 1863 mesmerizes with its oil-on-canvas portrayal while Major General Sir Barry Close captivates us with his commanding presence in oil-on-canvas dating back to c. 1811-1850. The Fountain of Life frescoes take us back centuries as we admire riders returning from their journey or get lost in the gaze of a young cavalier captured so vividly by skilled hands between 1418-30. Lastly, Portrait of Marquise Casati adorned with peacock feathers brings forth an air of elegance from 1911-1913's oil-on-canvas masterpiece. Feathers have long been symbols of gracefulness and splendor; they inspire artists across time to capture their allure for generations to come. Join us as we explore these diverse portrayals showcasing feathers' timeless beauty - an ode to nature's remarkable creations.
