EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of a lobster and crab, brought to life through the skilled hand-coloured engraving technique. Created by the talented German artist Georg Wolfgang Knorr in the late eighteenth century, this artwork measures 50x25 cm and is part of a private collection. The close-up composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of these two shellfish. Against a pristine white background, their vibrant hues stand out beautifully. The delicate shades applied by hand give them a lifelike quality that transports us into the depths of the ocean. Knorr's mastery as an illustrator shines through in this piece. His meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy captures the essence of these creatures with remarkable precision. From their pincers to their exquisitely patterned shells, every aspect is rendered flawlessly. This stunning print belongs to Knorr's renowned work titled "Deliciae Naturae Selectae" or "Uitgeleezen Kabinet van Natuurlyke Zeldzaamheden". Published in 1771 as part of a large folio edition, it remains an enduring testament to his artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are reminded once again of nature's boundless beauty and diversity. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an homage to Knorr's exceptional talent as he brings these fascinating marine creatures from centuries past back into our lives.
