EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bulls-eye fish and striped red mullet" takes us back to the 19th century, where the world of marine life was beautifully captured by Corsi. The image showcases two remarkable species - the Bulls-eye fish (Epigonus telescopus) and the Striped red mullet (Mullus surmuletus). Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this copperplate stipple engraving is a true work of art. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's skillful direction brings these creatures to life on paper, showcasing his expertise as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The Bulls-eye fish, also known as Pomatomo telescope, mesmerizes with its vibrant colors and distinctive pattern resembling a target or bullseye. Its unique appearance makes it stand out among other marine species. Accompanying this striking creature is the Striped red mullet, commonly referred to as Rouget in French. With its delicate stripes and graceful presence, it adds elegance to this underwater scene. Published in Florence in 1837 by Batelli e Figli for Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration serves as a valuable resource for ichthyology enthusiasts and those interested in natural history. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images' collaboration, we have access to this extraordinary piece that celebrates both science and artistry. Let yourself be transported into the depths of our oceans through this timeless depiction of aquatic beauty.
