Description
John James Laforest Audubon. Spermophilus Lateralis, Say. Say's Marmot Squirrel One of America's first wildlife artists, John Audubon has a name synonymous with conservation, but his realization about protecting the environment came late in his lifetime. He was an avid hunter, who killed the specimens depicted in his publications, but his in-depth studies have left a strong awareness of the beauties and complexities of nature. Audubon was born in Santa Domingo, now Haiti, of a French Chambermaid mother, Jeanne Rabin, and French father, Jean Audubon, who was a successful naval officer, merchant, planter, and slave dealer. They traveled on the same ship to Haiti in October, 1783. In France, where he was taken at age 4, the young Audubon was educated among the upper classes. By age 15, he was drawing French birds, and by age 17, he was studying drawing in Paris. It has been written that he studied in Paris with Jacques-Louis David, a story that Audubon allowed to continue, but no credible evidence supports this assertion Title: Spermophilus Lateralis, Say. Say's Marml. Medium: Colored Lithograph. Size: 18.5 X 22.5 (sight) in. Artist: John James Laforest Audubon (1785 - 18). Framed.
