Axel Amuchastegui (1921-2002) was born in Cordoba, Argentina in 1921.

A skillful self-taught artist, he specialized in illustrations of birds and animals of South America where he grew up, raised by his grandmother and parents to have a love of all the creatures of the wild.

Most of the animals he portrayed were from his observations in the natural habitat. In 1952, he was commissioned to illustrate birds from a book which romanticized the notion that birds, much like humans, are capable of falling in love.  He came up with twenty four lovely avian prints much to the style of the traditional illustrators such as John Gould or John James Audubon.  This is one of his lovely prints, a thick-stock offset original lithograph that came from his most celebrated book: “Love life of the Birds”.  These prints are hard to locate and are prized collector items.

He gradually developed a unique technique for his paintings using Chinese inks and watercolors. Argentina has designed several postage stamps from his paintings. 

We also carry loose original prints 300 years old or less in great condition such as: Albin, Audubon, Baron, Barraband, Bertuch, Brodtmann, Brown, Buffon, Cassel, Curtis, Cuvier, Donovan, Edwards, Fitch, Frisch, Grandville, Harrison, Walter Hood, Latham, Linden, Linnaeus, Loddiges, Martinet, McKenney, Morris, Munting, Redoute, Reinchenbachia, Schreber, Schubert, Selby, Shaw and Nodder, Van Geel, Warner, etc....
