The natural beauty and diversity of birds have fascinated us for centuries. Since their first appearance in the art of ancient Egypt, birds have proved to be a popular and enduring subject for artists who have sought to capture the majesty of these wondrous creatures.

Birds in Art brings together a collection of artworks depicting birds from the Renaissance to the present. This book reveals how and why birds continue to captivate us.

Showcasing the forms, movement, and colour of a variety of species, and exploring cultural symbolism as well as concerns around climate change and biodiversity loss, it is not only a delightful visual journey but also a pertinent reminder of our impact on the natural world.
