EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Strange Fish" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of the ocean. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The print showcases an array of peculiar and enchanting fish species that inhabit the underwater world. From left to right, we encounter fascinating creatures such as the Sternseher or Sterngucker (Atlantic stargazer), known for its ability to gaze at the stars above while buried in sand. Next, we come across the Indianische Teufel (greater weever), with its venomous spines and fearsome appearance. Moving along, our eyes are drawn to the PetermAannchen (bartail flathead) with its unique flattened head shape. The Butterfisch (rock gunnel) follows suit, displaying its slender body and distinctive patterns. Lastly, we observe two types of Blennius fish: Gunellus and Pholis. Published between 1790-1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch in his renowned "Bilderbuch fAor KinderA" (Picture Book for Children), this engraving captures both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. Its intricate details bring these extraordinary marine creatures to life on paper. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's efforts in preserving historical works like this one, viewers can appreciate nature's wonders through art even centuries later.
