«Gold and Silver»- Peregrine Falcon

Swifts, capable of soaring through the sky at 170 km/h, hold the speed record in horizontal flight. But a young Peregrine Falcon tries to hunt an Alpine Swift by “cheating,” reaching a dizzying 320 km/h when it dives, holding the gold medal for the fastest animal on Earth. Oil painting on canvas.

Maximum punctuality and excellent packaging I am delighted to have received the prints I ordered with the utmost punctuality and excellent packaging. They take my breath away, they transport me to the fantastic world of nature that you know how to reproduce with mastery, creating not only the image, but also recreating the spirituality of the moment... I have no words and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

True art in the hands and heart The fine art print is beautiful. It looks even better in person. I ordered it as a gift for a bird lover. By mistake, they sent me a different one, and Mr. Sosa had the wonderful gesture of gifting me the incorrect one and sending me the one I had ordered, which allowed me to give a truly magnificent gift. Both are beautiful. Thank you for your generosity. The person who received them is a follower of your paintings and was immensely happy. Many thanks.

Someday I will treat myself to it again I bought it many years ago and succumbed to the temptation of gifting it. It is magnificent. And so are the fine art print, the shipping, and the delivery time. Someday I will treat myself to it again. Best regards.

We are very satisfied! Good afternoon Manuel, I discovered your work at Intercaza (Córdoba) some years ago and liked it very much. We bought a small fine art print of the Eurasian Wren online from you and were very satisfied. That is why we are buying again. Regards.

The fine art prints are very good! Manuel, Good morning: I am Carlos from Huete, who bought two paintings of partridges from you a few days ago, and I must tell you that, to my taste, they are very, VERY GOOD. I have already told some friends; surely some of them will buy from you.

I wanted to confirm the receipt of the order I placed last week, and my absolute satisfaction with the quality of the fine art prints you sent me.
Álvaro García Matéu
Impressive! I was telling you on WhatsApp that it's the best I've seen so far, by far!!!! Besides many hours in the field, one must have a special gift, a very special one.
Antonio Mingo
Before seeing the signature, you know it's by Manuel Sosa. Before the artist, there is the passion and devotion for nature. A master.
Joaquín Carrasco Almazor

European turtle dove I have this painting, and others too, a marvel. I have my home adorned with several paintings by Manuel: a Song Thrush, a Common Snipe, a Common Quail. If my house were bigger, I would have more. Thank you Manuel for making these paintings more accessible.

6 reviews for «Gold and Silver»- Peregrine Falcon

  1. Ssntiago M. -

    What fascinates me about this work is how you have resolved the bird's physiognomy in full action. The wings, curved in perfect aerodynamics, show an extremely fine and meticulous barring on the covert feathers, which denotes your thousands of hours of field observation. But the soul of the painting is in the head: that fixed, penetrating gaze, with the cere of the beak and the retracted talons of a vibrant yellow that breaks the cold palette of the sky. And the background… that transition of leaden, dense, and stormy clouds that open below towards clear tones of twilight light, gives it an atmosphere of immense altitude. The falcon is not painted on a background; it is truly floating in the air.

  2. André Guijarro -

    This painting is a visual powerhouse; the strength and physiognomy of the birds in full physical exertion are spectacular.

  3. Antón Martín -

    What an absolute work of art, Manuel! It is pure adrenaline and aerial engineering captured on canvas. The Peregrine Falcon and the Alpine Swift represent the absolute speed of our skies, and capturing that instant of sudden turn, pursuit, and maximum tension in the air is an enormous compositional challenge that you have resolved masterfully.
    The dynamic force of the composition completely captivates you. The sudden turn of the Alpine Swift in the foreground, showing its white chest and crossbow-shaped wings, contrasts spectacularly with the imposing figure of the Peregrine Falcon swooping down on it. You have captured the falcon in full braking or a sharp turn, with its fanned tail displaying its intricate barring and its talons ready for impact. The raptor's expression, with its beak open, conveys tremendous wild power, all enveloped in an atmosphere of blurred misty clouds and skies that accentuates the sensation of altitude and vertigo.

  4. Rodrigo Martinez -

    The mythical animal par excellence and one of the favourites (next to the wolf) of the falconer and biologist the unforgettable Felix Rodríguez de la Fuente is represented in this majestic painting, full of scents and colours that are fixed on the artist's palette and to which he gives form, like a true juggler of Painting and like any sculptor (another wonderful profession) blow by blow, verse by verse, as that good man Antonio Machado would say.The artist (Manuel) is in his usual position and an overflowing joy emerges from his body and soul (all in one). Seeing him and two other artist friends of mine, Modesto Trigo Trigo and Salvador Amaya, reconciles me with Humanity and I feel that there are still noble people left in a world in perpetual darkness and decadence (without any Theology in use). Cordial greetings from Madrid, city of Villa y Corte.

  5. Rafa Villagra -

    Ufffffffff I didn't know you but from now on I will try to follow you!!! because I don't think my economic situation will allow me to buy one of your works!!! Congratulations on your work.

  6. Rafael Colino Andres -

    It is difficult to label a second of a chase with two such imposing actors, but the definition of the moment described by Manuel Sosa is superb and majestic.
