"Exploring the Marvels of Mutation: From Viral Proteins to Mythical Creatures" In a world filled with wonders, mutation takes center stage. From the intricate structure of SARS coronavirus protein to the vibrant lithograph "Au Quartier Latin, 1898, " we delve into a realm where reality and imagination intertwine. As we embark on this journey, our first stop brings us face-to-face with an engraving titled "A wonderful cock with four legs. " This captivating artwork challenges our perception of normality and invites us to ponder the extraordinary possibilities that mutations can bring. Moving forward, we encounter a mesmerizing manuscript called "Wolf-headed people of the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. " Here, ancient tales merge with reality as mythical beings come alive through delicate vellum illustrations. Among them is a fish adorned with a human head in a historiated initial D - an enchanting fusion of two distinct species. The allure continues as we stumble upon "The Three-Headed Man, Lunar Park Ballet, 1930. " Painted on board by an unknown artist, this oil masterpiece transports us to an era where mutation becomes art itself. The surreal depiction leaves us questioning what lies beyond conventional boundaries. With each step taken further into this realm, Felicien Joseph Victor Rops' untitled creation catches our eye. A mysterious piece that defies categorization but captivates nonetheless. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is in ambiguity and uncertainty that true beauty resides. As we venture deeper into mutation's domain, Grimm's tale unfolds before us in "CATS AND BOY (GRIMM). " A whimsical portrayal showcasing how even animals can undergo fantastical transformations through genetic variation - proving once again that nature holds endless surprises within its grasp. Paul Gauguin's masterpiece "The Universe Is Created" beckons next; here lies another manifestation of mutation's power.
