Peregrine and White-Throated Swifts
This is an incredibly beautiful signed and numbered limited edition (20 printed) Publisher’s Proof print by Robert Bateman.
The photos simply don’t do justice to this fantastic piece of artwork by one of the world’s most renowned wildlife artists. This print, one his best in my opinion, is nicely framed with acid-free double mating and non-glare acrylic plexiglass. The framed dimensions are approximately 30″ x 38″. The print alone normally sells for more than $700, so this framed print is a great bargain and a chance to own a fantastic piece of artwork by Robert Bateman.
“In this painting, I wanted to convey a plummeting, unstable feeling. I deliberately made one of the peregrine’s wings almost touch the frame so that the line of the frame adds force to the hawk’s dive. The misty trees and little cloud at the bottom also hold things in without destroying the dynamic momentum of the painting.“Snow can be used in paintings to reveal shape and structure, whether on the back of an elk or in the declivities and clearings of a mountainside. In Peregrine Falcon & White-throated Swifts, the picture is structured to have thrust and force and motion and the snow fields are created to add that thrust.” – Robert Bateman
