About the Item
This print, titled 'Chelidon Rustica', showcases a Barn Swallow perched delicately on what appears to be a cattail or a similar type of stalk. The bird is depicted in a side view, which allows a full appreciation of its sleek profile, the elongated tail feathers that are so characteristic of swallows, and the beautifully complex coloration of its plumage.
Magnus von Wright has expertly captured the vibrant blue-black of the Barn Swallow's back, which contrasts with the warmer, rusty red of the throat and forehead. The bird's underparts are depicted in a paler shade, providing a realistic portrayal of its natural coloring. There is a smooth transition of hues on the feathers, from the darks of the upper body to the lighter tones on the belly, which is an indication of von Wright's attention to detail and his understanding of avian anatomy.
The expression on the bird's face is alert, and the eye is rendered with a pinpoint reflection that conveys life and intelligence. The wings and tail feathers are finely detailed, with individual feathers clearly delineated, capturing the texture and the delicate structure that enables their aerodynamic flight.
In the caption, there is an intriguing note that reads "Bastard mellan Ladu- och Hussvala," which translates to "Hybrid between Barn and House Swallow." This is an unusual detail that suggests the bird might represent a crossbreed, a topic of interest in natural history and ornithology during von Wright's time.
The print from 'Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade' not only adds to the body of knowledge of bird species in Scandinavia but also serves as an example of the blending of scientific documentation with the aesthetic appeal in naturalist art.
