Description
Although largely overshadowed by his self-portraits and prolifically produced landscapes, Vincent Van Gogh also painted a fair number of pictures of animals. Ranging from mammals to crustaceans, insects to birds, finding one of his tableaus featuring wildlife feels like a real treat. Seen here is an 1886 rendering of a kingfisher, perched by the waterside. The teals and olive greens of the bird’s feathers fit nicely alongside the water and grasses. So too do the birds accents of umber and gold complement the yellowed stalks of grass. Our methodical hand reproduction of this work is sure to bring the same serene feeling to any environment.
