Bilder Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660–1740) – Domestic Fowl (Gallus Linnaei) – Facsimile print printed on quality paper (20th Century)

Beskrivning

This striking zoological illustration depicts a Domestic Fowl (Gallus Linnaei or a specialized breed of chicken. The bird is characterized by a dark, iridescent plumage rendered in shades of black and green-blue, a red comb, and light-colored legs. The detailed feathers and lifelike posture are captured using a combination of fine lines and hand-coloring.

Olof Rudbeck the Younger was a distinguished Swedish scientist, explorer, and botanist. He held the chair of medicine at Uppsala University and is renowned for his monumental but unfinished work, Campus Elysii, a comprehensive botanical and zoological catalog intended to document Scandinavian flora and fauna. The original plates were engraved, but the work was never fully published in his lifetime, leading to the creation of high-quality facsimile prints of the surviving images in the 20th century.
