About the Item

Pair of 19th-Century French Folk Art Frames with Pomar Codex Bird Facsimiles A charming pair of French folk art antique wooden frames from the 19th century, housing two high-quality facsimile prints derived from the original 16th-century Pomar Codex of natural history. Each print depicts a finely rendered watercolor bird, accompanied by its Latin nomenclature, faithfully reproducing the aesthetic character of the Renaissance originals. The facsimiles capture the subtle wear and patina of the historic manuscript, lending them an authentic, timeworn appearance. Recently reframed with new glass and backing, the pieces are well-preserved while retaining the rustic integrity and character of the antique frames. These works offer a refined blend of decorative and scholarly appeal, suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors. Dimensions: 38.5 cm (L) × 29.5 cm (H) Approx. 15.2 in (L) × 11.6 in (H) Very good condition. Antique frames show expected age-related wear. Prints are clean and well-presented under new glass with updated backing. Carefully packed and shipped via FedEx with full protection to ensure safe delivery. Pomar Codex (Atlas de historia natural de Felipe II) The Pomar Codex is a late sixteenth-century illustrated manuscript of natural history, associated with the court of Philip II of Spain and preserved in Valencia. It compiles watercolor depictions of plants and animals from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, accompanied by brief scholarly annotations. The historical significance of the Pomar Codex can be articulated through several key dimensions: It exemplifies the shift from medieval encyclopedic traditions to early modern empirical science, functioning as a proto-taxonomic tool prior to the standardization of Linnaean classification. The codex incorporates species from newly explored territories, particularly the Americas, reflecting the expansion of European knowledge in the context of imperial exploration and early globalization. It contains visual material likely derived from otherwise lost works, such as those of Francisco Hernández, making it an গুরুত্বপূর্ণ indirect repository of vanished scientific knowledge. The manuscript evidences the circulation of scientific imagery and ideas across Europe, especially between Spanish and Italian naturalist traditions (e.g., connections to Ulisse Aldrovandi). Commissioned under Philip II, it demonstrates how natural history functioned as both a scientific pursuit and a political statement, symbolizing imperial control over global biodiversity. Summary In concise terms, the Pomar Codex is historically important as a hybrid artifact of art and science that documents early modern efforts to classify nature, preserves otherwise lost knowledge, and reflects the intellectual and imperial dynamics of Renaissance Europe.
