EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of two marine creatures, the Sapphire damsel and the harlequin sweetlips. The exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, created by Corsi in the 19th century, captures every intricate detail of these fascinating animals. The Sapphire damsel, scientifically known as Pomacentrus pavo or pavone di mare in Italian, is a true gem of the sea. Its striking blue coloration resembles that of a sapphire, hence its name. With its delicate fins and graceful posture, this fish adds an enchanting touch to any underwater landscape. Accompanying it is the harlequin sweetlips or Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides (Plettorinco chetodonoides), which boasts a mesmerizing pattern resembling that of a clown's attire. Its vibrant colors and unique markings make it stand out among other marine species. This extraordinary illustration comes from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The talented artist Jean Gabriel Pretre meticulously drew these creatures under Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction. Turpin himself was considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators during the 19th century. His attention to detail and artistic skill shine through in this remarkable piece. With its rich history and scientific significance, this print not only celebrates nature's wonders but also pays homage to some influential figures within natural history exploration and illustration.
