Archibald Thorburn was born in 1860, near Edinburgh, the fifth son of the miniaturist Robert Thorburn ARA. He is now acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of bird life of all time. Enjoy a beautiful oil reproduction of one of the most recognized wildlife painters of all time with Archibald Thorburn's Peacock. One of several Thorburn paintings that feature the colorful Asiatic bird, this blue and white peacock gazes at its unseen target, ready to whip its tail feathers into full display at any moment. Meanwhile these feathers cast a dark shadow on an otherwise white backdrop, adding a sense of uncertainty to the proceedings. Thorburn rose to international acclaim beginning in the late 1800s with his wildlife painting and illustrations, and the Scotsman is just as renowned among modern bird lovers and sportsmen. Peacock stands in contrast to much of his work that features lush and evocative backgrounds, making it a unique addition to your collection.
