Beginning with the work of Flemish painter Frans Snyders in the early 1600s, birder and ornithologist Roger Lederer celebrates the masters of avian art here in 40 gorgeously illustrated profiles of artists who dedicated themselves to capturing the true character of birds. Whether the celebrated realism of John James Audubon, Elizabeth Gould's 19th century renderings of museum specimens of the Himalayas, Swedish ornithologist Lars Jonsson's ethereal watercolors, or the contemporary art of Elizabeth Buttersworth and her famed portraits of macaws, this is a cornucopia of art and artists as diverse and beautiful as their subjects.
