Meleagris gallopavo, or the Wild Turkey - An Exquisite Nineteenth Century Oil Painting by Robert Havell This stunning oil painting on canvas, created by the renowned English natural history artist Robert Havell around 1835, showcases the magnificent Meleagris gallopavo, also known as the wild turkey. Measuring an impressive 128cm x 171cm, this masterpiece captures the essence of this fascinating bird in its natural habitat. The painting beautifully illustrates the anatomy and features of the wild turkey, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. The bird's bald head, adorned with wattles and a fleshy snood, is prominently displayed, while its vibrant plumage is depicted in rich, vivid hues. The turkey is shown in daytime, with its alert and curious expression, as it stands outside amongst lush vegetation. Robert Havell, born in 1792 and passing in 1878, was a celebrated artist and publisher of natural history illustrations during the 19th century. His works were renowned for their exceptional quality and accuracy, making him a leading figure in the field of avian illustration. This exquisite painting is a testament to Havell's mastery of the oil medium and his deep appreciation for the natural world. The locomotion of the turkey is depicted with remarkable precision, as it balances gracefully on one leg. The Phasianidae and Galliformes orders, to which the wild turkey belongs, are brilliantly represented, showcasing the artist's exceptional talent and dedication to his craft.
