Lazuli Finch

by John James Audubon

Capture the wild and free spirit of the American West within your walls with this beautiful reproduction of John James Audubon’s “Lazuli Finch” (commonly called the Lazuli Bunting). Published in the seminal 19th-century work “The Birds of America,” this painting includes the brightly colored blue bird perched alongside the Clay-colored Sparrow and Oregon Snow Finch.

Audubon’s great work of natural science blends both science and artistry in its depiction of the avian species of North America. In each brush stroke, you will see captured in perfect detail the color contrast of the sky blue feathers and cinnamon colored chest of the male bunting. This is all placed within the botanical setting designed by artist Maria Martin and engraver Robert Havell of London.
