Audubon Mango Hummingbird in Gem Colours Cutting Board

A lively family of five Mango Hummingbirds flutters gracefully around the bright orange blossoms of a Trumpet Vine (Tecoma Grandiflora) in this colourful vintage masterpiece. The vivid hues of the vine’s blossoms beautifully complement the shimmering green and red plumage of these tiny nectar-feeding birds, creating a scene bursting with life and energy. This stunning artwork is Plate 184 of John James Audubon's Birds of America series. Audubon himself marveled at the brilliant colours of hummingbirds, describing their plumage as comparable only to precious gems and rich metals—a description that still holds true today. The iridescent, gem-like tones of their feathers seem to shift and glow, capturing the imagination and celebrating the dazzling beauty of nature. This artwork is a timeless tribute to the delicate and vibrant world of hummingbirds, making it a perfect gift for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the artistry of Audubon’s legacy.
