Warbling Vireo or Greenlet

by John James Audubon

Recreate the classical beauty of American bird illustration from the 19th century with our replica of John James Audubon's Warbling Vireo, an exact copy of plate 118 from the famous Birds of America collection which depicts a pair of these singing birds, which early naturalists used to call "the Greenlet" or "Warbling Flycatcher," sitting in the midst of the green leaves and white blossoms of wild swamp magnolia.

Every single detail of the painting bears witness to the painstaking fieldwork that Audubon had done. These tiny olive grey birds sing their sweet persistent summer songs while hiding in the high parts of the deciduous trees' crown. Perfect to decorate the interior in the style of vintage botanic illustration, this artwork will bring some historic flavor and a bit of American wilderness into your home.
