  • William Hayes,  Raggiana bird-of-paradise 
    Jul. 19, 2023

    William Hayes,  Raggiana bird-of-paradise 

    Est: £300 - £400

    William Hayes,  British 1729-1799-  Raggiana bird-of-paradise;  pen and black ink, watercolour and bodycolour heightened with touches of gum arabic on laid paper, 30.6 x 48.5 cm.  Provenance:  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  As an ornithological artist, Hayes was celebrated for his vibrant and characterful illustrations of birds. He enjoyed the support of influential contemporaries, including both George Henry Glasse (1761-1809), chaplain to George III's son Prince Adolphus, and John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792). It was under the latter's patronage that Hayes produced 'British and Exotic Birds' in 1778. He also created the important publications 'A Natural History of British Birds' (1775) and 'Rare and Curious Birds Accurately Drawn and Coloured from their Specimens in the Menagerie at Osterley Park' (1794-99).  The Raggiana bird-of-paradise (Paradisaea raggiana), also known as 'Count Raggi's bird-of-paradise', is a large bird which is commonly found in southern and northeastern New Guinea, where its name is 'kumul'. As requested by the Italian naturalist and explorer Count Luigi Maria D'Albertis, the epithet 'raggiana' commemorates the Marquis Francesco Raggi of Genoa. The bird is the national bird of Papua New Guinea. In 1971 this species was made the national emblem and was included on the national flag. 'The Kumuls' ('birds-of-paradise' in Tok Pisin) is also the nickname of the country's national rugby league team.
