EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Basket star or gorgons head, known scientifically as Astrocladus euryale. The intricate details and delicate features of this marine creature are brought to life through the handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving technique employed by Corsi in the 19th century. Originally featured in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837, this illustration is a testament to the remarkable talent of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Regarded as one of the most exceptional French botanical illustrators during his time, Turpin directed Jean Gabriel Pretre's drawing with precision and finesse. The Basket star or gorgons head depicted here is Euriale a costole lisce, showcasing its smooth ribbed structure that adds an extra layer of elegance to its already fascinating appearance. This brittlestar species is renowned for its intricate branching arms that resemble a basket-like formation hence its name. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into the enchanting world of natural history and marine wonders. It serves as a reminder of both the diversity and fragility present within our oceans while also highlighting humanity's ability to appreciate and preserve such extraordinary creatures.
