Painting Description
"Robin" is a watercolor painting from "The Farnley Book of Birds," created around 1816 by the renowned British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). This artwork is part of a series of ornithological studies that Turner produced during his visits to Farnley Hall in Yorkshire, the estate of his friend and patron Walter Fawkes. The painting depicts a European robin (Erithacus rubecula), a bird commonly found in gardens and woodlands across Europe, known for its distinctive orange-red breast and face, bordered with grey to brown upperparts and a whitish belly.
Turner, primarily known for his expressive landscapes and seascapes that heralded the Romantic era, also had an interest in natural history and occasionally included detailed studies of animals and birds in his oeuvre. "The Farnley Book of Birds" showcases Turner's skill in capturing the delicate features and vibrant plumage of birds, combining his keen observation with the luminous effects of watercolor.
The "Robin" is characterized by its meticulous brushwork and the artist's ability to convey the texture of feathers and the liveliness of the bird's gaze. The painting reflects Turner's fascination with light and color, as he uses subtle gradations and contrasts to create a sense of depth and realism.
As part of "The Farnley Book of Birds," the "Robin" contributes to the understanding of Turner's diverse artistic interests and his proficiency beyond the sweeping landscapes for which he is best known. The collection of bird paintings remained with the Fawkes family until it was dispersed, and individual works, including the "Robin," have since become valuable pieces for collectors and important items for study in British art history.
