About the Item

This print, titled 'Anas (Dafila) Acuta', showcases the male Northern Pintail, a bird celebrated for its elegant proportions and long, pointed tail. The illustration reveals the pintail in fine detail, capturing the nuances of its plumage—a harmonious blend of intricate patterns and earthy hues, with the distinctive chocolate-brown head and white neck marking of the male species. The creator of this fine piece, Magnus von Wright, was a notable figure in the natural history art of the 19th century. Born on June 13, 1805, in Sweden and passing on July 5, 1868, he was not only a respected painter but also an esteemed educator. Trained at the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, his career was marked by a dedication to depicting the natural world with scientific accuracy and artistic sensitivity. This Northern Pintail print is part of von Wright's extensive work, "Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade," which translates to "Swedish Birds After Nature and On Lithographs." His work in this series set a high standard for ornithological illustration in Scandinavia, combining detailed observation of birds with the practical requirements of lithographic reproduction. Von Wright's contribution to the visual documentation of birds was significant, especially in an era when such records were crucial for both scientific study and the broader appreciation of natural history. His illustrations remain a treasure for both their aesthetic appeal and educational value, reflecting the rich biodiversity of Sweden and capturing the essence of each species in its natural environment. The Northern Pintail print is a fine example of von Wright's legacy, embodying the intersection of art and science that defines the best of natural history illustration.
