The Rudbeck Swedish Birds Wall Art features full-page ornithological illustrations drawn from the historic Great Bird Book of Olof Rudbeck the Younger, a work originally begun around 1693. Each illustration combines artistic composition with naturalistic accuracy, depicting various bird species in a style rooted in 17th and 18th century Scandinavian botanical and ornithological study. The beige toning gives the prints a warm, aged quality that reflects their historical origins.
About Olof Rudbeck Olof Rudbeck the Younger was the son of a distinguished scientist and writer in the fields of anatomy and linguistics of the same name. He carried on the family tradition by distinguishing himself as a pioneer in botany and ornithology and wrote extensively as a linguist. Rudbeckia is a genus of mostly perennial flowering plants that was named in honor of Rudbeck by his former student, the famous " father of modern taxonomy" Carl Linnaeus. The so-called Great Bird Book of Olof Rudbeck the Younger is a work begun c. 1693 but was never published until a facsimile was made in 1985. Rudbeck went on to give a series of ornithological lectures between 1727 and 1731, which were the first of their kind in Sweden. Every page is adorned by full-page illustrations of various birds that are artful and realistic in equal manner. Rudbeck Swedish Birds Wall Art by Soicher Marin in Beige at Anthropologie
