#TextileTuesday: look closely, it’s a “needlepainting!” A favorite piece from the “Making Her Mark: A History of #WomenArtists in Europe, 1400-1800” exhibition at Baltimore Museum of Art:

Mary Linwood (British, 1755-1845) after George Stubbs (British, 1724-1806) Tygress, c. 1798 Worsted wool needlework

“The vibrant copper, red, and green passages in this copy after George Stubb's painting Tygress are rendered not in paint but stitched in dyed wool thread. By the 1780s, Mary Linwood had become famous for her ‘needlepaintings,’ which she exhibited at the Society of Artists in London.

Later, she opened her own public exhibition of her works that debuted in London and then toured to cities in Scotland and Ireland; in 1806, she opened her own gallery in Leicester Square in London, where this work was shown. Her gallery remained a major attraction for nearly forty years.”

Edward Henry Murphy (Irish, c.1796-1841) Paroquets, c.1830 oil on canvas, 86.4 x 66 cm National Gallery of Ireland NGI.161

🆔 Scarlet Macaw, Salmon-Crested Cockatoo, Rose-Ringed Parakeet

Reminder that parrots aren't native to Europe, and the ones in this painting come from 3 different regions of the world (the Neotropical Americas, Australasia, and the Indian Subcontinent, respectively. But they became common companions in aviaries, brought together through European colonization and conquest.

This painting and others will be part of my presentation at the upcoming History of Science Society's Virtual Festival on 9 December 2023:

"The Parrot in the Picture: Biogeographical Knowledge as a Decolonization Tool in Visual Culture Studies"

Although Europe has no extant native parrot species of its own, at least a few Indian and African species have been known to Europeans since

Mughal (Uttar Pradesh, India)

Ink, opaque watercolor, & gold on paper; 18.2 x 12.8 cm

San Diego Museum of Art 1990.272

“This painting is from a now-dispersed album which contained another early Mughal natural history study, that of a cow and her calf. Akbar's grandson Jahangir is usually considered to be the great Mughal patron of painting of the natural world, but the doe and the cow are evidence that such studies were produced in the imperial atelier from the beginning of the reign of Akbar.”
