Price History
Description
Born in 1785, John James Audubon was the son of a French sea captain. He grew up in France, and at the age of 18 was sent to America where he fell in love with nature, observing and drawing birds which is captured beautifully in this stunning piece of art which is ideal for any room in the home. When he travelled to England years later, his first ‘Birds of America’ volume was published and became an overnight success! By 1831 he was recognised as the leading naturalist of his country, getting as close to nature as you could possibly get and becoming one of the “men of science”. The full collection contains 435 life-size watercolours of detailed studies and stunning illustrations showing all different types of North American birds in their natural environments; all reproduced from hand-engraved plates. John James Audubon is celebrated for giving the world the first great collection of American birds and his work is considered the archetype of wildlife illustration.
Our Stylist Says
I love this whale illustration for its bold yet elegant colour palette and classical scientific style, making it a versatile feature piece. It works particularly well in interiors with a vintage or eclectic vibe, where the detailed depiction can act as a focal point in a gallery wall or standalone statement. Styling tips include pairing it with neutral tones or natural textures like wood and linen to highlight its colours, or placing it above a sideboard or in a study to bring a touch of nature-inspired sophistication. Its sizeable format makes it ideal for creating impact in a larger space, and it adds a refined, educational touch to a conservatory or library setting.
