EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hedgehog, 1863-79" takes us back in time to the late 19th century when zoological illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a renowned Italian zoologist of his time, this colour lithograph is part of the esteemed private collection. The image showcases an exquisite illustration of a hedgehog from Petraroja's popular zoological atlas. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this nocturnal creature to life on paper. Its spiky quills are meticulously depicted, capturing the essence of its unique defense mechanism. Published by Giovanni Boschi between 1863 and 1879, this work represents a compilation of the most recent studies in Italian and foreign zoology at that time. It serves as a testament to the dedication and passion these scientists had for understanding Earth's diverse fauna. Through this photograph print, we gain insight into both historical scientific research practices and artistic expression. This piece not only appeals to animal enthusiasts but also offers an opportunity for art lovers to appreciate the skillful combination of science and aesthetics. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it reminds us that even centuries-old illustrations can still captivate our imagination today. Let this hedgehog transport you back in time while marveling at nature's wonders through artistry and precision.
