EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Argus Pheasant, Displaying at London Zoo This exquisite watercolour painting captures the vibrant and intricately patterned plumage of an Argus Pheasant (Argochelos argus) on display at London Zoo. Painted by the renowned English artist Charles Howard in the late 19th century, this work of art showcases the pheasant's stunning iridescence, with its multicoloured feathers shimmering in the soft light. The Argus Pheasant, native to the Indonesian island of Bali, is one of the most beautiful and elusive birds in the world. Known for its elaborate courtship display, the male Argus Pheasant is depicted in this painting with its feathers fanned out in a mesmerizing pattern, designed to attract a mate. The female Argus Pheasant, with her more subdued plumage, can be seen in the background, observing her potential partner. London Zoo, founded in 1828, was one of the first scientific institutions to house and study exotic animals from around the world. This painting provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the discovery and exploration of new species was a source of great fascination and excitement. Charles Howard's masterful use of watercolour techniques brings the Argus Pheasant to life, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of its plumage and the elegance of its form. This painting is not only a testament to Howard's artistic skill but also to the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of preserving and studying the diverse species that inhabit our planet.
