EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Harbour Porpoise, 1863-79" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The artist behind this stunning colour lithograph is Raimundo Petraroja, a talented Italian zoologist and illustrator who lived during that period. The image showcases a beautiful illustration of a Harbour Porpoise, known by its scientific name Phocoena phocoena. This marine mammal gracefully glides through the water with its sleek body and distinctive dorsal fin visible above the surface. The attention to detail in this artwork truly brings the porpoise to life, capturing its elegance and natural beauty. Originally published as part of an atlas called "Popular Zoological Atlas" compiled from various works of Italian and foreign zoology, this print offers us a glimpse into the scientific knowledge and artistic talent of that era. It serves as a reminder of how art has long been intertwined with our understanding and appreciation for nature. Now preserved in a private collection, this lithograph continues to inspire awe among viewers today. Its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship make it an exquisite addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone fascinated by marine life. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us access to such remarkable pieces like this one, enabling us to explore history through art while celebrating the wonders of our natural world.
