EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Spotfin lionfish, also known as the broadbarred firefish. Created by Stanghi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece that captures every intricate detail of this remarkable creature. The Spotfin lionfish, scientifically named Pterois antennata, is depicted with its vibrant and striking colors elegantly displayed against a backdrop of marine life. Its long flowing fins and spiky appearance make it an unmistakable presence in any underwater scene. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration represents a significant contribution to the field of ichthyology. The renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin directed and drew this artwork, solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest illustrators of his time. Carini's masterful engraving technique adds depth and texture to each element within the image. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as an important historical document for those interested in natural history and wildlife studies. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this extraordinary piece from Florilegius' collection for all art enthusiasts to admire. It reminds us of nature's endless wonders and invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance.
