Engaging Ornithological Watercolor by 18th Century Artist Ernst Friedrich Carl Lang
Est: $6,000 - $8,000
Untitled [Kingfisher on Branch]. Ernst Friedrich Carl Lang (1748-1782). Gouache, body color and gum arabic on vellum. 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches sheet, 21 x 18 1/4 inches framed. Provenance: Acquired on his travels by John William Adam (1779-1825), administrator in India, and grandson of the celebrated British architect John Adam (1721-1792). The eighteenth century was the golden age of bird painting. Menageries had become fashionable at the end of the previous century and the owners of these collections of exotic animals and birds were anxious to see them portrayed in watercolor, gouache and oil. The genre found particular favor in the countries of Northern Europe which were predominantly Protestant and thus immune to the structures of the Roman Catholic Church. These beautiful studies are relatively rare example of the work of Ernst Friedrich Carl Lang. The painter was a pupil of the famed natural history painter, Barbara Regina Dietzsch, who specialized in the depiction of flowers, birds and insects. The influence of her work can be seen in the delicacy of brushstrokes used by Lang, and in the sophistication of the composition. The lack of background detail gives the work a simplicity that allows the viewer to fully appreciate the coloring of the birds plumage. Moreover, the colorful feathers of these enchanting birds are echoed in the coloring of the backgrounds.
