About the artwork
Alexander Pope Jr. is the artist behind "Reclining Spaniel, gazing at hovering hummingbird", dated 1880. Background on Plants & Animals: Images of plants and animals are valued both for the care of their observation and for their decorative appeal. Images of plants and animals run from medieval herbals and bestiaries to the scientific illustration of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. About the period around 1880: In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. The later nineteenth century is the era of Impressionism, whose first group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, followed by Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. The catalogue places it in Plants & Animals. The format is landscape.
"Reclining Spaniel, gazing at hovering hummingbird" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
