The Artist
John Audubon (1785 – 1851), whose surname became synonymous with birds, produced an enormous body of work, including over 435 paintings of North American birds. Audubon was America’s dominant wildlife artist for half a century. Audubon’s fascination with birds began in childhood and lasted well into his adult years where he spent many many hours on the frontier, creating an enormous portfolio of life-size bird drawings. His work has remained the standard against which modern day bird artists are still measured.
