Item Description
Hand colored original print of Red-legged Partridge, elegantly matted
Hand colored, original print from 'British Game Birds and Wildfowl' by Beverley Morris, published in London by Groombridge & Sons in 1855.
Beverley R. Morris devoted his life to art and painting. He lived out his fascination and enthusiasm for nature through his paintings, mostly birds. Beverley R. Morris was one of the most famous artists of ornithological illustrations.
Morris's hand-colored paintings of various species of birds are popular at various art auctions, but already during his lifetime reflected the artistic epoch of the 19th century. Already in the epoch of Romanticism, landscape paintings were in focus, especially in England. With the onset of realism, the paintings only became more detailed and naturalistic. The emergence of a new art technique, "lithography," opened for artists with a preference of bird illustration new opportunities to perfect their paintings.
Matted dimensions: 14 x 16 1/2 inches
Image size approx: 9 1/2 x 12 inches
