Two Studies of a Dead Bird
View through Europeana Collections
At the close of the 16th century, artists became increasingly interested in nature. Jacob de Gheyn’s circle of friends included several scientists. His expertise and excellent observational skills enabled him to portray plants and animals with meticulous accuracy. Remarkably, he depicted this dead songbird, which seems to have only just crawled out of its egg, in two different ways, as a scientific researcher would have done.
