John James Audubon and the Birds of America
Course | Available (Membership Required)
In the 1820s, John James Audubon set out to
document every bird species in the US, resulting
in The Birds of America, a landmark collection of
435 hand-painted prints. This course explores
Audubon’s life, artistic methods, and legacy,
highlighting how his work bridges art and science.
We will examine selected prints and consider his
lasting impact on American natural history.
