Gyrfalcon Painting Wallpaper
This Gyrfalcon painting wallpaper reproduces a work by renowned Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman. A white-phase Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) perched on a jagged coastal rock, the grey sea stretching to the horizon behind it, every feather rendered with the photorealistic precision Bateman is celebrated for. The Gyrfalcon is the largest falcon on earth, a bird of the high Arctic that hunts ptarmigan, waterfowl, and other birds with exceptional speed and power, and Cornell Lab’s All About Birds notes the white morph — the rarest and most prized by falconers throughout history — occurs primarily in the Canadian and Greenland Arctic. Bateman’s composition gives the bird the stillness of a sentinel and the weight of the landscape it belongs to.
