The Art of Thomas Bewick is the first book to interpret the art of
the wood engraver Thomas Bewick (1753 - 1828) and set it in the
context of history, revealing the connections between Bewick's
political and religious views - reflections of the late
eighteenth-century Enlightenment - and the character of his images.
Bewick was both an important contributor to the history of British
ornithology and a highly original artist and printmaker. His
depictions of the natural world, particularly of British birds, set
new standards of realism and authenticity, while his graphic scenes
of country life were unparalleled in their thoughtfulness, mingling
humour and tragedy. His lively depictions of dogs, horses and other
animals can also be seen as the expression of a new insight and
sensibility: part of the growing movement for the prevention of
cruelty to animals. Allowing Bewick's art to be viewed in a broad
context of the artistic and scientific culture of his age, this
lavishly illustrated book will appeal to naturalists, especially
ornithologists and birdwatchers; historians of science, art and
country life; those interested in the history of animal rights and
protection; and students of painting and print media.
