EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating pen and ink drawing by American artist William Holbrook Beard (1825-1900), depicts a raptor perched atop a crag, gazing intently at the setting sun. The solar system is illustrated in the background, with the sun at its center, surrounded by planets and stars. This intriguing work of art, created between 1865 and 1895, showcases Beard's exceptional talent for blending science and art. The monochromatic drawing, executed in pen and black ink over graphite on paperboard, exudes an air of antiquity and heritage. The bird of prey, with its sharp gaze and outstretched wings, symbolizes the power and intelligence of nature. The scene is set against a backdrop of the nineteenth century American countryside, with its rolling hills and open skies. This evocative work of art is a testament to Beard's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of both the natural world and the scientific concepts of the time. The drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, as well as those with a passion for astronomy and the natural world. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to exhibit this rare and beautiful work of art, which adds to its impressive collection of historic and cultural treasures. The contrast between the black and white tones, the intricate details, and the thought-provoking concept make "Genius" a truly unique and captivating piece that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers to this day.
