EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of two marine creatures, the Red Gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna) and a flying fish from the Exocoetidae family. The image is part of an extraordinary collection commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th century, featuring intricate drawings of animals, birds, plants, shells, and insects known during that era. The vibrant colors and meticulous detailing bring these underwater wonders to life. The Red Gurnard's striking red hue contrasts with its unique features such as spiky fins and large eyes. Its Latin name "Chelidonichthys lucerna" adds a touch of scientific elegance to this enchanting creature. Accompanying the Red Gurnard is a graceful flying fish soaring through the water with effortless grace. With its elongated pectoral fins resembling wings, it seems almost ethereal as it glides above the ocean surface. The artist has thoughtfully numbered this artwork as "10" ensuring its place among other magnificent creations within this album. The inclusion of explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French further enriches our understanding of these aquatic species. This print serves as a testament to Anselmus Boetius de Boodt's exceptional talent for capturing nature's diversity on paper using various mediums like pencil, chalk, watercolor paint, ink pen, and deck paint.
