西蒙·沙玛在这本视觉效果惊艳的艺术画册中，以标志性的图像探索了我们对鸟类经久不衰的迷恋。本书以卡雷尔·法布里蒂乌斯令人难忘的画作《金翅雀》

为中心展开。这本图文并茂的画册——由西蒙·沙玛亲自策划——远非简单的画册，它深入探讨了人类对鸟类的持久痴迷。通过五个引人入胜的主题，本书揭示了鸟类如何映照出我们的欲望、恐惧和幻想。从《鸟之艺术》中令人眼花缭乱的创意——鸟群的低语、精巧的巢穴、求偶的舞蹈——到《静止的飞行》中鸟类被囚禁、被锁链束缚或被猎杀的景象。《爱情鸟》深入探讨了鸟类在艺术中的调情、神话和情色象征意义。《家禽与屠宰》思考了鸟类如何沦为食物，而《痴迷的飞行》则通过布朗库西等艺术家的作品审视了艺术中的渴望。本书兼具历史深度和视觉美感，邀请读者重新认识鸟类，它们不仅是天空中的生物，更是人类境况的有力象征。本书与2026年2月起在海牙莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆举办的展览同期推出。书中收录了西蒙·沙玛、劳拉·卡明和菲利普·霍尔等人的文章。

Simon Schama explores our enduring fascination with birds in this visually stunning art book iconic images.

This book is centered on Carel Fabritius’s haunting The Goldfinch. Far more than a catalogue, this richly illustrated volume – curated with Simon Schama – explores the enduring human obsession with birds.

Through five evocative themes, the book reveals how birds mirror our desires, fears, and fantasies. From the dazzling creativity of Art by Birds – murmurations, intricate nests, courtship dances – to Stilled Flight, where birds are caged, chained, or hunted. Love Birds delves into flirtation, myth, and the erotic symbolism of birds in art. Poultry and Butchery considers how birds become food, while Obsessive Flight examines artistic longing through figures like Brancusi.

With historical depth and visual beauty, this book invites readers to rediscover birds not just as creatures of the sky, but as powerful symbols of the human condition.

This book accompanies the exhibition at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, from February 2026 onward. With text contributions by Simon Schama, Laura Cumming and Philip Hoare, amongst others.
