EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Glasseye bigeyes, scientifically known as Heteropriacanthus cruentatus. Captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, this image is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these marine creatures to life on paper. The Glasseye bigeyes are depicted with their distinctive large eyes, which give them their name. Their sleek bodies shimmer under the water's surface, reflecting light and showcasing their elegant form. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, directed and drew this illustration with precision and artistry.
