EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1880 chalk on paper sketch by Dutch artist Johannes Cornelis van Essen showcases a group of pelicans residing in Artis Zoo, Amsterdam. The pelicans, with their distinctive large, pouch-like beaks, are depicted in a semi-realistic style, capturing both the beauty and curiosity of these magnificent waterbirds. Van Essen's artistic mastery is evident in the intricate details of the pelicans' feathers, their inquisitive expressions, and the subtle texture of the water's surface. The artist's use of chalk on paper lends an unfinished, raw quality to the sketch, adding to its charm and authenticity. The pelicans in this sketch were likely part of the growing collection of exotic animals at Artis Zoo, a popular attraction in 19th-century Europe. The zoological garden, founded in 1838, was a hub of scientific discovery and a source of fascination for both the scientific community and the general public. As a prominent figure in the Dutch artistic scene of the late 19th century, van Essen's work reflects the growing interest in ornithology and the natural world during this period. His sketches of birds, both in their natural habitats and in captivity, are a testament to his dedication to documenting the natural world and capturing the essence of these animals. This sketch is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Artis Zoo and the scientific and artistic curiosity that drove people to explore and document the natural world around them.
