1650 Cristatus Displaying Fowl Pavo Peacock
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a magnificent Peacock (Pavo cristatus) in the midst of an elaborate display, dating back to approximately 1650. The Peacock, a native to South Asia, is renowned for its extravagant plumage, with iridescent blue-green and green colors adorning its train feathers. This majestic bird is captured mid-display, spreading its magnificent tail feathers in an attempt to attract a mate. The artistry of this print adds to the allure of the Peacock, as the intricate details of its feathers and the subtle shading create a three-dimensional effect that brings the bird to life. The use of fine lines and delicate brushstrokes highlights the artist's skill and appreciation for the natural world. Peacocks have been admired for their beauty and symbolism for centuries. In ancient India, they were considered sacred birds and were often depicted in art and mythology. The Peacock's display was believed to represent the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, as the fallen feathers were thought to symbolize the shedding of old skin and the renewal of life. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural world as it was depicted during the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the Peacock and the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
