Twee zilverfazanten 1878 - 1905

"Twee zilverfazanten" (Two Silver Pheasants), created between 1878 and 1905 by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, depicts a close-up of two silver pheasants amidst a flowering, pale green background. The delicate lines and muted colors characteristic of the Art Nouveau style contribute to a sense of tranquility, emphasizing the birds' beauty and the natural world. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases van Hoytema's mastery of printmaking and his artistic interest in the natural world.
