EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Purperkoet, scientifically known as Porphyrio porphyrio porphirion telamon. The image is part of a larger collection of drawings commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th to early 17th century. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, this particular piece is from the third album dedicated to capturing various bird species. The Purperkoet, also referred to as the Purple Swamphen or Sultana Bird, stands out with its vibrant plumage and striking red beak. Its regal appearance is further enhanced by the intricate details captured in this artwork. The artist's skillful use of watercolor paints, pencils, chalks, and inks brings life to every feather and contour. Accompanying this remarkable illustration are explanations provided in Dutch, Latin, and French languages. These annotations serve as valuable references for scholars and enthusiasts alike who wish to delve deeper into understanding these avian creatures that were well-known during the time period around 1600. Measuring approximately 253mm in height and 158mm in width, this print beautifully preserves a moment frozen in time centuries ago. It serves not only as a testament to nature's wonders but also as a reminder of our fascination with documenting its diverse flora and fauna throughout history.
