746693 Examples of Discomedusae from Kunstformen der Natur, 1899 (colour litho) by Haeckel, Ernst (1824-1919) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: Discomedusae is a taxonomic group (subclass of the Scyphozoa) of jellyfish.
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1834 -1919) was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista.); Prismatic Pictures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning array of Discomedusae, a taxonomic group of jellyfish, as depicted in Ernst Haeckel's renowned work "Kunstformen der Natur" from 1899. Haeckel, a multifaceted German biologist and artist, meticulously captured the intricate details and vibrant colors of these gelatinous creatures through his skillful lithographic technique. The image reveals the mesmerizing beauty found within the underwater world, where these umbrella-shaped organisms gracefully float with their tentacles trailing beneath them. Each individual jellyfish is uniquely adorned with bold hues and symmetrical patterns that highlight their place within the hierarchical classification system developed by scientists like Haeckel. Haeckel's artistic rendering not only serves as an aesthetically pleasing piece but also contributes to our understanding of these fascinating marine creatures. Through his meticulous study and detailed illustrations, he provided valuable insights into the taxonomy and order of Discomedusae. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of nature's infinite diversity and complexity. The delicate balance between form and function is beautifully portrayed in each creature's structure – from its bell-shaped body to its stinging tentacles designed for capturing prey. This print invites us to appreciate both the scientific rigor behind taxonomy and the artistic expression that can be found in biology. It serves as a testament to Haeckel's immense contributions to both fields while reminding us of the wonders that await discovery beneath the ocean's surface.
