117 Veremondo Rossi (active mid-18th century) – Tucano o sia Pica del Brasile – Hand-Colored Copperplate Engraving (Mid-18th Century)
This vibrant hand-colored copperplate engraving by Veremondo Rossi depicts a toucan (Tucano o sia Pica del Brasile) perched on a gnarled tree branch in a stylized landscape. The bird's striking yellow bill, deep black plumage, and blue-and-white throat are rendered in vivid color with delicate shading. The composition is framed by a floating title ribbon and set against an elegantly composed botanical background. Originally produced as part of an 18th-century Italian natural history volume, this work reflects the intersection of scientific curiosity and decorative sensibility typical of Enlightenment-era zoological illustration.
Veremondo Rossi was an 18th-century Italian illustrator and engraver known for his contributions to natural history and ornithological studies. Although relatively little is known about his life, his engraved plates are valued for their clarity, accuracy, and ornamental charm. His works often appeared in scientific publications aimed at documenting the flora and fauna of the Americas and other exotic locales.
