Perhaps best known for his paintings of animals, including the now-extinct dodo bird, Savery was also a key figure in the history of northern landscape painting. While Savery was serving in the Hapsburg court in Prague, Rudolf II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, sent the artist to the Tyrolean Alps to capture in drawing the “rare wonders” of nature, material for his paintings. The resulting red and black chalk drawings are thought to have been done from life.
