Ornithology

Up until the early 20th century, scientists explored 
ornithological subjects using methods like specimen collection,
anatomical study, and field observations.

Pioneers such as John James Audubon and Charles Darwi
contributed foundational knowledge on bird behavior,
anatomy, and classification, laying the groundwork for modern
ornithology through meticulous research and documentation.

Throughout history, artists and artisans have drawn inspiration
from ornithology, depicting birds in paintings, sculptures,
and decorative arts. From Audubon’s detailed bird illustrations
to traditional Chinese porcelain adorned with avian motifs,
these artworks celebrate the diversity and beauty of birds,
blending scientific accuracy with artistic creativity
across cultures and epochs.
