EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print depicts the Trichoglossus haematobus, better known as the rainbow lorikeet, a vibrant and captivating parrot species native to Australia. The illustration is taken from the Banks Manuscript 34, created around 1790 by the Port Jackson Painter, an anonymous artist whose works are renowned for their meticulous attention to detail and lifelike accuracy. The rainbow lorikeet is easily recognizable by its iridescent plumage, which ranges from red and orange to blue and green, creating a breathtaking rainbow effect. In this illustration, the bird is perched gracefully on a branch, its beak slightly open, revealing the bright red, tongue-like tip. The intricacies of the lorikeet's anatomy are beautifully rendered, from the delicate feathers on its head and breast to the subtle textures of its collar and collar bones. The rainbow lorikeet is a member of the parrot family (Psittacidae) and the order Sauropsida, which includes reptiles and birds. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this remarkable bird, capturing its essence and beauty with exquisite precision. The Port Jackson Painter's work is a testament to the rich natural history records of the 18th century, offering valuable insights into the natural world and the artistic prowess of the time. This rainbow lorikeet illustration is a true masterpiece, a stunning example of the naturalistic style that characterized the works of the period.
