BLUE MORPHO BUTTERFLY MAGNET

Known for his landscapes, seascapes and tropical birds, Martin Johnson Heade painted “Blue Morpho Butterfly” in the mid 1860s. The oil painting features a striking blue butterfly with iridescent wings resting on a leafy branch against a dark background. The use of contrasting colors and subtle shading creates an almost three-dimensional effect, giving the painting depth and texture.
