Original Description
The breathtaking "By Julius Bien by John James Audubon" represents a magnificent collaboration between America's greatest wildlife artist and one of the 19th century's finest lithographers. This oversized chromolithograph reproduction from Audubon's iconic "Birds of America" series bursts with life - showcasing Bien's mastery in translating Audubon's original watercolors into vibrant printed form. Each feather seems to ripple with movement as the majestic bird appears ready to take flight from the page. Created during the 1860s, these Bien editions preserved Audubon's groundbreaking naturalistic style while introducing modern printing technology, making them highly significant in the history of scientific illustration. The work exemplifies Audubon's revolutionary approach that blended artistic beauty with ornithological accuracy, set against dramatic natural backgrounds that tell ecological stories. These editions marked the transition from hand-colored prints to full-color reproduction techniques in American printmaking.
For sophisticated interiors, this Audubon-Bien masterpiece commands attention as a stunning focal point in studies, executive offices, or elegant dining rooms. Its ideal placement would be on a generously sized wall (minimum 4ft clearance) to accommodate the work's substantial dimensions (approximately 39×26 inches for double elephant folio size). Frame it in a gilded wood or blackened gold frame to honor its 19th-century heritage, complemented by Benjamin Moore's "Rich Cream" walls for perfect color harmony. The deep earth tones and dramatic pose pair beautifully with mid-century modern furniture or traditional dark wood pieces. For office spaces, position it behind a desk to create an inspiring backdrop that speaks to precision and artistic vision. Install subtle directional lighting (2700K temperature) to enhance the rich pigments without glare. Consider flanking with botanical prints or antique brass sconces for a collected, scholarly aesthetic that respects the work's scientific origins.
