EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning array of shrimp species, captured in intricate detail by Corsi in the 19th century. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The print features five distinct species of shrimp: Spirontocaris spinus, Hippolyte variabilis, Penaeus species, Processa canaliculata, and Athanas nitescens. Each creature is meticulously illustrated by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin – one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of his time. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these crustaceans to life on paper. From the delicate patterns on their exoskeletons to their graceful forms, every aspect is beautifully rendered. This exquisite artwork offers a glimpse into the rich diversity found within marine ecosystems. Florilegius has preserved this remarkable piece from history through their collaboration with Bridgeman Images. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic talent during an era when natural history illustrations were highly valued for their educational and aesthetic qualities. Whether you are an admirer of marine life or appreciate fine art prints that celebrate nature's wonders, this enchanting composition will surely captivate your imagination and transport you back to a time when science and art converged harmoniously.
