Painting Description
"White Stork Ciconia Alba" is a notable illustration by the Dutch bird artist John Gerrard Keulemans, one of the most prolific and influential ornithological illustrators of the late 19th century. Keulemans specialized in creating detailed and accurate depictions of birds, and his work was widely published in ornithological books and journals of the time. The illustration of the White Stork is a testament to Keulemans' skill in capturing the elegance and distinctive features of this species, known scientifically as Ciconia ciconia.
The White Stork is a large wading bird known for its striking white plumage with black wing feathers, long red legs, and a long pointed red beak. It is a migratory species with a widespread range across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The bird is culturally significant in many societies, often associated with folklore and mythology, particularly the tale of storks delivering babies.
Keulemans' illustration would have been created using his typical method, which involved initial sketches from live specimens or skins, followed by detailed watercolor paintings. His work is characterized by its scientific accuracy and artistic quality, making his illustrations valuable both for scientific documentation and for their aesthetic appeal.
The "White Stork Ciconia Alba" illustration would have been included in one of the many ornithological publications to which Keulemans contributed during his career. His illustrations remain important historical records of avian species and are still appreciated by bird enthusiasts and art collectors today. The exact publication details, date of creation, and current location or ownership of the original artwork would require further research to provide a complete historical context for this specific illustration by John Gerrard Keulemans.
