Framed Warbler Art

What is nearly so instantly charming and endearingly uplifting as the image of songbirds? Very few artistic subjects are as recognizable, universally applauded, and widely beloved. The role that songbirds and warblers occupy in literature, folklore, songs, movies, and pop culture is a dear one, and perhaps this is why framed warbler art is such an appealing form. Many examples exist in contemporary times of such artwork, not the least of which are the illustrations of renowned ornithologist John James Audubon.

Audubon, a bird enthusiast, researcher, and painter alike, is so well-known in circles of songbird appreciation that his studies comprise the bulk of information surrounding warblers and their calls and habits, with his name even being attached to the Audubon Society, leading authority on all such topics. Perhaps it is not surprising, then, that his contributions to framed warbler art illustrations are among the most popular and enduring. “Audubon’s Warbler,” only one example of many done by the artist, is a beautiful example of just one of his many talents.
