About this piece
What it shows
In Christian art the eagle belongs to Saint John the Evangelist, whose Gospel rises highest towards heaven. It is also an emblem of strength renewed: “they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” This is a statement piece, made for a hall or a study.
How it is made
The bird takes its markings from the tree: dark streaks of grain run through the wings and the paler wood lights the breast. Thousands of individual feather cuts cover the body, and the crag beneath is left rough to contrast with the finished plumage.
