John James Audubon

    26 avril 1785 – 27 janvier 1851

    Cet artiste et naturaliste est devenu célèbre pour ses études approfondies et ses illustrations détaillées de l'avifaune américaine dans son habitat naturel. Son œuvre maîtresse, un livre de planches en couleur, est considérée comme l'une des meilleures œuvres ornithologiques jamais réalisées. Malgré les difficultés financières et les luttes personnelles, il s'est consacré à son métier bien-aimé pour capturer la beauté de la nature. Son influence sur l'ornithologie et l'histoire naturelle a été considérable, son art et ses normes élevées inspirant presque toutes les œuvres ultérieures.
