Phillips Woodpecker

by John James Audubon

Experience the glory days of American natural history by acquiring a magnificent reproduction of John James Audubon's Phillips' Woodpecker. Appearing in his iconic 19th century work, The Birds of America, this wonderful artwork portrays Audubon's extraordinary talent at combining the strictest scientific preciseness with movement.

Unlike other contemporary drawings of animals, which were depicted in lifeless positions, Audubon was known for wiring his newly acquired samples in fluid positions in order to portray them "drawn from nature." This specific painting represents the feather texture, distinctive marks, and vivid personalities of the woodpecker family that made their way through the American landscape of the past times. Whether you are an avid bird watcher or simply appreciate old art pieces, this print is a great addition to any interior design.
