The Satyr Tragopan
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
The artwork in Today's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle is titled "The Satyr Tragopan" (1918-1922), and the artist is Archibald Thorburn ♥
Archibald Thorburn (1860–1935) was a distinguished Scottish wildlife artist renowned for his detailed watercolors of birds and mammals. Born on 31 May 1860 in Lasswade, Midlothian, he was the fifth son of Robert Thorburn, a portrait miniaturist to Queen Victoria. Thorburn received early artistic training from his father and briefly attended St. John's Wood School of Art in London before studying under the German-born natural history painter Joseph Wolf.
Thorburn's reputation was solidified through his illustrations for Lord Lilford’s Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Isles (1885–1898), for which he completed 268 watercolors.
In 1896, Thorburn married Constance Mudie, and they had one son. The family moved to High Leybourne in Hascombe, Surrey, in 1902, where Thorburn lived and worked until his death. He preferred natural light for painting and notably refused to use electric lighting, even into the 1930s.
Thorburn was a vice-president of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and designed their first Christmas card in 1899, continuing the tradition until his death. His works remain highly regarded for their artistic merit and contribution to ornithological illustration.
