| Nineteen year old Scottish artist Joseph Bartholomew Kidd was employed by Audubon to
produce oil reproductions of his watercolor bird paintings. Audubon's goal was to create a "Natural History Gallery of Paintings" which was designed to promote the Birds of America, and create a separate, hopefully lucrative business venture. He supplied Kidd with specifically sized canvases for
his copies, which were completed between 1831 and 1833. Kidd copied circa one-hundred (showing 500 of 835 characters). |
