Skriv inn ønsket bredde og høyde for å tilpasse trykket til din ramme eller vegg. Et trykk kan kun beskjæres, aldri skaleres opp utover motivets opprinnelige størrelse, noe som betyr at et format med andre proporsjoner vil føre til tap av deler av bildet. Vi sender deg en digital mockup for godkjenning før vi starter trykkeprosessen. Bildet som vises på denne siden viser ikke den faktiske beskjæringen — det er kun mockuppen som viser dette.

Om kunstneren
Johannes Gerardus Keulemans: A Life in Feather and Brush
Early Life and Education
- Born: June 8, 1842, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
- From a young age, Keulemans demonstrated an interest in the natural world, collecting animal specimens.
- This early passion led him to connect with Hermann Schlegel, director of the Natural History Museum in Leiden, who became a crucial mentor.
- Schlegel encouraged Keulemans’s artistic talent and sent him on an expedition to West Africa in 1864, providing invaluable field experience.
Move to England and Artistic Development
- In 1869, Richard Bowdler Sharpe persuaded Keulemans to move to England to illustrate his monumental work, *Monograph of the Alcedinidae*, or Family of Kingfishers.
- This marked a turning point in Keulemans’s career, establishing him within the British ornithological community.
- He remained in England for the rest of his life, becoming a highly sought-after illustrator.
- Keulemans developed a distinctive style characterized by meticulous detail and accuracy, essential qualities for scientific illustration.
Major Works and Collaborations
- Keulemans illustrated numerous significant ornithological publications throughout his career.
- Notable works include:
- Buller’s *A History of the Birds of New Zealand* (1873, 1888): Showcasing the unique avian fauna of New Zealand.
- Legge’s *History of the Birds of Ceylon* (1880): A comprehensive study of Sri Lankan birds.
- Elliot’s *Monograph of the Bucerotidae* (Hornbills) (1887–1892): Detailed illustrations of hornbill species.
- Seebohm’s *Monograph of the Turdidae* (Thrushes) (1902): A thorough examination of thrush varieties.
- Godman’s *Monograph of the Petrels* (1907–1910): Featuring over one hundred plates contributed by Keulemans.
- He regularly provided illustrations for journals like The Ibis and Proceedings of the Zoological Society.
Artistic Style and Techniques
- Keulemans’s work is renowned for its consistency, maintaining a high level of detail throughout his career.
- He primarily employed lithography, allowing for the creation of vivid and lifelike depictions through depth and tone.
- The finished prints were often hand-colored by skilled artisans, though the accuracy of these colorations sometimes faced criticism.
- His ability to capture accurate representations of birds earned him prominence in the field of scientific illustration.
Personal Life and Later Years
- Keulemans married twice and had fifteen children, though only nine reached adulthood.
- He also pursued interests beyond ornithology, writing on topics related to spirituality and claiming to experience premonitions.
- Death: March 29, 1912, Ilford, Essex (now Greater London). He is buried in Buckingham Road Cemetery, Ilford, in an unmarked grave.
Legacy and Historical Significance
- Keulemans produced an estimated 4,000-5,000 published illustrations throughout his career.
- His work remains highly valued for its scientific accuracy and artistic merit.
- He is credited with describing the Cape Verde swamp-warbler (*Calamodyta brevipennis*).
- Keulemans’s illustrations continue to be studied and admired by ornithologists, artists, and collectors alike, solidifying his place as a significant figure in 19th-century natural history art.
