About the Artwork

Obsessed with hummingbirds from a young age, Martin Johnson Heade traveled to Brazil in 1863-64 to study and depict the birds in their natural setting, because a majority of the species could only be found there. Titling his series of paintings The Gems of Brazil, Heade used brilliant colors to show the jewellike beauty of the birds’ feathers.
