A print of “American Flamingo” by John James Audubon on your wall
The crimson of the bird against a blue lagoon and a pale sky - Audubon's Flamingo is colour that furnishes a room by itself. A print of this plate suits a child's room in pastels, a bedroom with white walls and pale wood, and a colonial-style dining room with wicker chairs and palms. The format is decidedly vertical, like the bird's curved silhouette; we recommend a tall piece of wall art beside a bed or in a corridor, where it will stop every guest in their tracks. On Dispa board the print keeps its papery, watercolour character and is as light as a poster, while 5 mm acrylic glass sharpens the red and gives a glassy sheen that looks like a gallery piece. Audubon art for your wall: in the artMonte configurator you enter the dimensions and we print exactly for that spot.

American Flamingo
About the artwork
A bright red flamingo bends its long neck towards the ground so as to fit into the format of the plate; in the background, on the shallows, smaller silhouettes of birds can be seen, and at the bottom details of the beak and foot. Plate 431 belongs to the last batch of The Birds of America, the monumental work published in London between 1827 and 1838. Audubon painted birds at life size, which is why the print is nearly a metre tall. It was engraved and coloured by the workshop of Robert Havell.
