EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century watercolor print by Dutch artist Aert Schouman showcases two captivating bird species: a Moluccan parrot (Loriculus galgulus), also known as the red-lored lorikeet, and a Purple-breasted Botinga (Cotinga cotinga). The Moluccan parrot, native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, is renowned for its vibrant red and green plumage. The Purple-breasted Botinga, endemic to South America, is characterized by its striking purple breast and black and white plumage. Schouman's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the birds' feathers and the lifelike portrayal of their expressions. Schouman, an accomplished artist from the Netherlands, created this work during the 1720s or 1790s. His mastery of watercolor paint and his keen observation of natural forms make this print an invaluable contribution to both the fields of art and science. The print is a testament to the rich heritage of natural history and ornithology that emerged during the eighteenth century. The Moluccan parrot and the Purple-breasted Botinga were popular subjects for naturalists and collectors of the time. Schouman's depiction of these birds not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important record of their appearance and characteristics. This print is a reminder of the fascination with the natural world that defined the era and continues to inspire us today.
