EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of a Perch (Perciformes), possibly a pieterman (Trachinus), known as Etterlijnk. The artist, Anselmus Boetius de Boodt, created this masterpiece as part of the sixth album with drawings of fish, shells, and insects commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th century. The intricate details captured in this artwork are truly remarkable. The perch's resemblance to a pieterman is due to the addition of its first dorsal fin with thorny fin rays. This unique feature adds an element of intrigue and complexity to the composition. Numbered at the top right corner as "17" this piece stands out among other illustrations within the collection. In addition, the bottom left corner proudly displays its name written in seven different languages, emphasizing its significance on a global scale. Measuring approximately 149 mm in height and 311 mm in width, this work combines various artistic techniques such as pencil sketches, chalk outlines, watercolor paints, deck paint accents, ink detailing, and pen strokes. These elements come together harmoniously to create an exquisite representation of bony fishes like weever. Whether you appreciate art or have an interest in marine life from centuries pasts, this print offers both aesthetic beauty and historical value. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about nature's wonders and reminds us of our enduring fascination with aquatic creatures throughout history.
