Melchior de Hondecoeter, known as the “Raphael of birds,” was the leading animal painter of the 17th century. His dynamic scenes of lifelike birds set in baroque garden landscapes adorned the homes of Europe’s elite. Today, his works are housed in major museums in London, New York, Amsterdam, Vienna, and beyond.
