It speaks to the curious eye: the naturalist, the gardener, the collector drawn to precision married with feeling. The mood is hushed, lush, and quietly alive — the sense not of a specimen pinned under glass, but of a moment caught\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Martin Johnson Heade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew nineteenth-century American painters built a body of work as strange and specific as his: salt marshes at low tide, hothouse magnolias laid flat against velvet, and hummingbirds suspended in Brazilian jungle air. Born in 1819 in rural Pennsylvania, he moved at the edges of the Hudson River School, friendly with Frederic Church but pursuing his own quieter obsessions. His trips to Brazil in the 1860s yielded the celebrated Gems of Brazil hummingbird series, and his late Florida years produced the lush tropical still lifes he's now best known for. There's a stillness in his paintings - patient, almost devotional - that rewards long looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Martin Johnson Heade","offers":[{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41547671404631,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_18x24_-StretchedCanvas","price":170.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41547671437399,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_18x24_-FineArtPaper","price":111.56,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41547671470167,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_18x24_-AntiquaFrame","price":213.11,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41547671502935,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_18x24_-HickoryFrame","price":213.11,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":41547671535703,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_18x24_-RavenFrame","price":213.11,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41547671601239,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_24x36_-StretchedCanvas","price":284.62,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41547671634007,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_24x36_-FineArtPaper","price":170.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41547671666775,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_24x36_-AntiquaFrame","price":356.13,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41547671699543,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_24x36_-HickoryFrame","price":356.13,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41547671732311,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_36x48_-StretchedCanvas","price":570.66,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41547671765079,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_36x48_-FineArtPaper","price":284.62,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41547671797847,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_36x48_-AntiquaFrame","price":713.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41547671830615,"sku":"orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade-_36x48_-HickoryFrame","price":713.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2536\/4678\/products\/fine-art-print-orchids-and-hummingbird-by-martin-johnson-heade-1171207407.jpg?v=1750077259","url":"https:\/\/trulyart.com\/en-ca\/products\/orchids-and-hummingbird-martin-johnson-heade","provider":"Truly Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
