EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Kwak Nycticorax nycticorax Nacht-Raeve Ardea Cinerea minor. The image is part of a remarkable collection of drawings commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th century, capturing animals, birds, and plants known during that era. The Kwak, also known as Nycticorax nycticorax or Nacht-Raeve in Dutch, Latin, and French respectively, takes center stage in this artwork. Its elegant form and striking plumage are expertly depicted using watercolor paint, pencil, chalk, ink, and pen on paper. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke. Numbered at the top right corner with "32" this particular piece belongs to the third album within a series of twelve albums containing similar illustrations. Each album explores different aspects of nature prevalent around 1600. Accompanying the drawing are explanations provided in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. These descriptions shed light on various shore-birds and wading-birds captured throughout the collection. Anselmus Boetius de Boodt was entrusted with creating these stunning artworks between 1596 and 1610. His talent for capturing nature's essence shines through each carefully crafted composition. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity during Emperor Rudolf II's reign. It offers viewers an enchanting glimpse into a world where art seamlessly intertwines with natural history knowledge.
