EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of Salmo Fario, commonly known as the Brown Trout. Created by the German School in the late 18th century, this artwork measures 27.9x47.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The exquisite detail and vibrant hues bring this fish to life, capturing its finned beauty with precision. The artist's skillful hand colouring enhances every intricate pattern on its scales, making it a true masterpiece. Taken from Marcus Elieser Bloch's renowned work "Ichthyologie, ou histoire naturelle" this engraving was published in Berlin, Paris, and London between 1785-1788. Engraved by Ludwig Scmidt after Kruger's original illustration, it exemplifies the scientific exploration of natural history during that era. With a white background accentuating its features, the brown trout appears to be looking away with an air of aversion or curiosity. Its tail gracefully extends behind it while showcasing various shades of brown amidst splashes of red. Displayed within an assortment of other prints and documents inside what seems to be an artist's studio setting adds depth to this image. The carefully labeled measurements and species information further emphasize its significance as both art and documentation. Overall, this print captures not only the beauty but also the historical importance of Salmo Fario (Brown Trout), offering viewers a glimpse into the world of natural history studies during the late eighteenth century German art scene.
