Black Crowned Heron by Judith Harvey Oil on Canvas, 12 x 9 inches $842<\/p><\/div>\n

John James Audubon, born on today’s date in 1785, was the foremost wildlife illustrator in the United States for half a century, mainly focusing on ornithological paintings. He was born in Saint Domingue, a French colony that is now Haiti. His parents were a French naval officer and his mistress. His mother died shortly after he was born, and he was raised in France by his father and stepmother. In 1803, he came to America and lived at the family estate in Mill Grove, Pennsylvania, where he studied, drew birds, and met his wife, Lucy. He experimented with bird banding, being the first person known to have done so in North America. He and Lucy moved to Kentucky and started a family. He continued to draw birds as a hobby and owned a store until going bankrupt in 1819.<\/p>\n

Still Life Deer by Christine Cousineau Oil on Canvas, 30 x 24 inches $753<\/p><\/div>\n

Ironically, according to www.skinnerinc.com<\/a>,\u00a0Five of the entries on the list of the\u00a0top ten most expensive books<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0ever sold are copies of\u00a0The Birds of America\u00a0<\/em>by John James Audubon. The double elephant folio sold for $10.3 million in 2010.\u00a0There\u2019s a good reason that the book commands such high prices. Audubon created a genre of illustration that didn\u2019t exist before. He depicted his birds life-size, exhibiting normal behaviors in their natural habitats. His abilities as an artist and high scientific standards are perfectly captured in his illustrations, and people of all ages and backgrounds are drawn to these lifelike images.<\/p>\n
