EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 126 from the Loten Collection, an exquisite 18th century illustration of an Octopus sp. (Cephalopoda, Octopoda) by the renowned Flemish natural history painter Pieter Cornelis de Bevere (1722-1781). This stunning work of art, created between 1754 and 1757, showcases the intricate details of this elongated cephalopod with its distinctive long body and eight tentacles, each adorned with rows of circular suckers. The octopus, a mollusk belonging to the class Invertebrata, is a masterful example of the beauty and complexity of the underwater world. De Bevere's meticulous painting captures the octopus's expressive eyes, which convey a sense of intelligence and curiosity, adding to the allure of this mysterious and fascinating creature. The artist's use of light and shadow highlights the undulating texture of the octopus's skin, creating a captivating contrast against the flat background. The Loten Collection, an essential resource for natural history studies during the 18th century, boasts an impressive array of illustrations, including this remarkable depiction of the octopus. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere's masterful painting not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of the time but also as a valuable record of the natural world, inspiring awe and wonder in generations to come.
