EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of two unique marine creatures - the Shaggy sponge crab and Dynomene hispida. The intricate details captured in this 19th-century handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving bring these fascinating crustaceans to life. The Shaggy sponge crab, scientifically known as Dromia hirsutissima, takes center stage with its striking appearance. Its body is adorned with a shaggy covering that gives it an almost ethereal quality. Next to it, we find the Dynomene hispida, also referred to as Dromidia hirsutissima 1 and Dynomene hispida 2. These delicate creatures display a remarkable array of textures and patterns that make them truly enchanting. Created by renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin under the direction of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, this illustration is part of their esteemed work titled "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" or "Dictionary of Natural Science". Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Turpin's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into the world of natural history and marine exploration. It serves as a reminder of the immense diversity found within our oceans and encourages us to appreciate the wonders that lie beneath the surface.
