The Taylor White Collection's 18th Century Watercolour Painting of The Robin
Our Robin 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 Robin was one of these masterpieces, which emerged from the collaboration between White and Collins.
The original watercolour of the Robin is extremely finely painted, with incredible detail, allowing you to see the Robin'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 Robin
The Robin (Scientific name: Erithacus rubecula melophilus) can be found fluttering its wings throughout Europe, central Asia, northern Africa and the Middle East. But it's not just its broad geographic range that makes the Robin a fascinating bird.
In fact, it has a special place in British culture, where it's often called the British Red Breast and has become synonymous with Christmas. You'll find it featured on many a holiday card, singing carols and perched on snow-covered branches.
And if you're a gardener, you'll be pleased to know that the Robin is a faithful companion, always ready to lend a helping beak in your backyard. They'll often flit close to where you're working, waiting for you to move on so they can swoop in and grab a tasty worm or bug for their next meal.
So whether you're looking for a festive symbol of the holidays or a helpful winged assistant in your garden, the Robin is the bird for you. Keep your eyes peeled for this feathered friend and enjoy its charming company!
