EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent ostrich standing proudly on the left side, surrounded by nine other birds. Among them are a graceful heron and an elegant pelican, each depicted with remarkable detail. The minimal ground upon which they stand is adorned with patches of foliage that add depth and beauty to the composition. Created after 1557 by Virgilius Solis, this engraving and etching on laid paper exemplifies his exceptional talent as a designer. Solis masterfully captures the essence of each bird, highlighting their unique characteristics in monochrome splendor. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring these creatures to life, making them appear almost tangible. Displayed within the Douce Ornament Prints Album I, this artwork measures approximately 6.6 x 7.9 cm in size. Its small dimensions do not diminish its impact; instead, they draw attention to the meticulous craftsmanship employed by Solis. Preserved at the Ashmolean Museum, this print is part of an extensive collection that celebrates artistry from centuries past. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's wonders and our enduring desire to capture their beauty through artistic expression. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for us to appreciate this stunning piece of fine art photography without commercial intentions or associations. It allows us to immerse ourselves in the enchanting world created by Virgilius Solis and marvel at his ability to breathe life into these feathered beings through ink on paper.
