Attributed to Ustad Mansur a court artist under Mughal emperor Jahangir. It looks to be painted as part of a book with maybe a type of tempura or gouache. The reference I found says it is now in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. I recognized the center bird as a Dodo bird and did my first search on Google with the phrase "Painting of Dodo birds" I found the image in the results. That took me to the Wikipedia site for Ustad Mansur the name of the painter. Links from there took me to many sites for Indian art and the many styles and eras in Indian art. I kept looking as I wasn't sure that the painting was located in the Hermitage but several sites noted it.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180979989285217385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-38257571759913554812013-02-01T21:36:10.852+00:002013-02-01T21:36:10.852+00:00I'm probably late with this but....

It is thought that most of Dodo's painted were dead, so the significance is that the artist captured an alive bird.<br />and as usual - how you found this out: I did some Dodo paintings whilst as a student and remember this image clearly from my sketchbook of research I undertook!<br /><br /><br />Thanks<br />Ka Gray<br />https://twitter.com/KaGrayArtistAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268271648751274940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-76844397946401626562013-02-01T20:10:25.661+00:002013-02-01T20:10:25.661+00:00I'm finding two versions of this painting, one...I'm finding two versions of this painting, one the mirror image of the other.

The Wikipedia entry for Dodo gave me the information. <br /><br />It is attributed to the Mughal court painter to Jehangir, Ustad Mansur, or one of his contemporaries, painted around 1610 - 1625. Jehangir liked to collect specimens from the natural world and a dodo was brought to his court via Goa.<br /><br />It is possibly the first painting of a dodo and the most accurate from a living specimen and was rediscovered in the Hermitage in St Petersburg, which is where I assume it still is.<br /><br />A guess at the medium - watercolour with some sort of body colour?<br /><br /><br />suessketchbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611461006873024308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-53140946016321703232013-02-01T19:23:54.075+00:002013-02-01T19:23:54.075+00:00Well, this is the first painting where I've no...Well, this is the first painting where I've not had a clue, but since you posted at around the right time thought I aughta have a go. Unfortunately a google search on images for Dodo and Parrot shows the painting (in reverse on a blog page reserved for obscure things). When I tried to look it up on wikipedia, it wanted to direct me to doom paintings!<br />Anyway, artist is thought to be Ustad Mansur and created around 1610 (the wikipedia for Dodo's shows the same painting, but dates it 1625). Media looks water based, with some of the opacity I would expect from gouache although it may be egg tempera. It appears to be in the Hermitage although I can find no record of it on their webpage. The significance is it is a painting of a live Dodo and it was painted for Salim Nuruddin Jahangir, 4th mughal emperor. He may also have been the first painter to paint a Dodo.<br /><br />Today I have started a 28 days project over at my blog (glasgow painter) where I'll be talking lots of nonsense but may well mention this page at some point if that's OK with you!)janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588901637630537211noreply@blogger.com
