EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) in its natural habitat. The image, titled "Lepelaere / Pelicanus platea / Espatulle" and numbered 26 on the top right corner, is part of the third album featuring exquisite bird drawings commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600. Created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, this artwork captures the intricate details of this magnificent shore-bird. The Spoonbill's elegant white plumage contrasts beautifully with its long, distinctive bill that resembles a spoon. Its graceful pose exudes tranquility as it stands amidst lush vegetation near water. This species is known for its wading behavior and can often be found in wetlands or coastal areas. Accompanying the image are names written in four languages on the top left corner: Dutch, Latin, French, and "Espatûlle" which refers to the bird's name in another language. The entire collection consists of twelve albums containing drawings of various animals, birds, and plants from that era. This particular print measures approximately 294 mm in height and 176 mm in width. It was meticulously created using watercolor paint, deck paint, pencil, chalk, ink pen techniques on paper. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance captured by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt's skilled hand, this print serves as a remarkable testament to both nature's beauty and human creativity.
