The Taylor White Collection's 18th Century Watercolour Painting of The Wood Pigeon
Our Wood Pigeon fine art print comes from the original collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Charles Collins (c.1680 - 1744) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The watercolour painting of the Wood Pigeon was one of these masterpieces, which emerged from the collaboration between White and Collins.
The original watercolour of the Wood Pigeon is extremely finely painted, with incredible detail, allowing you to see the Wood Pigeon's plumage and features in stunning clarity. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful fine art print, which is now available for your home or office décor, or to buy as a thoughtful gift for your friends and family.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession and landowner on the Nottinghamshire / Yorkshire border, was a keen naturalist and collector. He commissioned over 900 paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish from the finest painters of his day. He was a governor and the founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London, as well as being a Fellow of The Royal Society. He was extremely well-connected in Society, which enabled him to create such a world-class collections of specimen and thus paintings. White's father in-law was Major-General John Armstrong, who as Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, Chief Royal Engineer and Quartermaster-General to the Forces, has his offices in The Tower of London. Consequently, Taylor White had access to the birds and beasts of The Royal Menagerie at the Tower. He also was able to borrow specimen from The British Museum. Some rarer and more exotic specimens were brought back from their great travels across the globe by his Royal Society friends, the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks, Bt. and the famous clockmaker, John Harrison.
The Wood Pigeon
Get ready to swoop into the enchanting world of the wood pigeon (scientific name: Columba palumbus). With a vast range extending across Europe and western Asia, the wood pigeon is one of the best-known birds, especially in the countryside.
Sporting a sleek grey plumage with a subtle pinkish hue on their breast, wood pigeons never shy away from making a statement. The eye-catching white ring encircling their neck and the distinctive white stripe adorning their wing set them apart from other pigeons. Also, don't miss their mesmerizing pale yellow eyes, which seem to hold secrets of the wild.
Though often seen as an agricultural pest, the wood pigeon is no picky eater. They'll happily munch on an array of leafy crops, peas, grains, pine nuts, and berries. But that's not all – these curious creatures are also known to savour figs, acorns, and the occasional insect.
Nesting in the cosy confines of trees and tall hedges, wood pigeons are experts at creating simple yet sturdy nests from interwoven twigs and sticks. After about 18 days of careful incubation, the eggs hatch to reveal adorable fledglings, who, after around 35 days, are ready to spread their wings and embark on their own adventures.
Embrace the captivating world of the wood pigeon and learn to appreciate these majestic yet mischievous avian marvels. Keep an eye out for them – you might just spot one of these fascinating birds in your own garden!
